Call it what you will -- "There won't be a bite left" or "Better than Sex Cake " it's a classic

Rummaging through my mental notes for something to make for the end of Summer  Labor Day cookout, decided on an oldy but goody.  It's a simple desert know by many names. 

 

Here is the recipe:

 

 

Base:

 

2c.Flour

2 sticks melted Butter

1c. chopped Pecans

 

Mix well and pat into 9x13 baking dish.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool completely.

 

First Layer:

 

8 oz. Whipping Cream

8 oz. softened Cream Cheese

1 c. Powdered Sugar

 

Whip cream then mix in cream cheese and powdered sugar, whip a bit more until fluffy.  Spread over cooled cookie crust.  Chill.

 

Second layer:

 

3 small or 2 large boxes of instant chocolate pudding  -- (you can use cooked or home made but it must be cold)

4 1/2 c. Milk

 

Mix pudding as directed using ONLY 4 1/2 c. Milk.  Spread over cream cheese mixture, chill.

 

Third layer:

 

Your choice, a tub of Cool Whip or 12 oz. of whipping cream whipped.  Spread over chocolate pudding, sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.  Chill overnight.

 

Very rich and high in calories so it's best for a party to spread those calories around....

oh pish!

I don't see that many calories there...a good desert for a 3 or 4 person dinner party, unless I'm out at a bar, I love leftovers.

My former neighbor Hazel (who passed away a couple years ago at age 94) used to make this cake, and she called it the "Better Than Sex Cake". I didn't care for it since it has cream cheese as an ingredient.

I miss Hazel; she was one of those people who never seemed old no matter her age.

Last weekend I made a sort of lemon torte which is very light after a big dinner. 

 

Here's the recipe:

 

1 6oz. pkg lemon gelatin (can use sugar-free)

2 cups boiling water

1 cup cold water

1 can lemon pie filling

1 20oz. can crushed pineapple, drained

1 16oz. angel food cake, torn in bite-size pieces

1 12oz Cool Whip

 

Dissolve gelatin in boiling water, add cold water and refrigerate until firm.  Then, add the pie filling and beat with mixer until fluffy.  Add Cool Whip, drained pineapple, and angel food pieces.  Spread mixture in a 9"x13" pan, and refrigerate several hours or overnight covered.  To serve, it can be cut into squares or spooned out.
