Chocolate Sin or Sex in a Pan

Recipes »  Desserts  »  Custards and Puddings

It's also called a four layer dessert. Whatever you call it, it's delicious and it will go fast at family gatherings and pot lucks. So decadent, yet so easy to make.

"This dish is AMAZING!!! We make it with lemon pudding, and it's called Lemon Delight. We put red and green cherries on top at Christmas also. It is sooooo good with either lemon or chocolate. "

Chocolate Sin or Sex in a Pan Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix together the flour, butter and chopped pecans, reserving a few tablespoons of the pecans for garnish.

Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and press the flour mixture for the first layer into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes and set aside to cool completely.

Mix together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until mixed well and creamy. Fold in one cup of Cool Whip and stir to mix well. Spread this over the cooled crust gently. You don't want to disturb the crust.

Mix the two boxes of pudding mix, the milk and the vanilla. Whisk until thick and then stir in 1/2 cup of Cool Whip and mix well. Spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese mixture.

Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the pudding layer and sprinkle with reserved pecans. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or so to set before serving.

Notes

Don't melt the butter, just set it out to soften a bit before making this dessert. You could set both the butter and the cream cheese out.

This was a great recipe. I was short on time, so I used a pre-made pie crust. It was just what I was looking for. Took it to a work pig out and there were no left overs!
