Sex in a Pan
Description
This dessert combines a pecan, sugar, butter, and flour crust baked for a nutty, firm base. Over this, a light, creamy layer blends cream cheese, sifted powdered sugar, and whipped topping for a smooth, sweet filling. Layered on top are firm vanilla and chocolate puddings made by reducing the milk used in preparation to achieve a thicker texture that holds shape when cut.
Finishing with a whipped cream topping and optional shaved chocolate creates a contrast of textures and flavors. The assembled dish requires refrigeration for several hours to ensure the layers set fully, facilitating clean slices and balanced flavors. The combination of nuts, creamy fillings, and pudding layers offers a rich and varied mouthfeel.
For best results, sift powdered sugar to avoid lumps and use less milk in pudding to maintain structure. Allow the dessert to chill adequately to prevent it from being too soft or runny when served.
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter melted, unsalted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Cream cheese layer
- 8 ounce cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar also known as icing sugar or confectioner's sugar, use 1/2 cup for less sweetness
- 1 cup Cool Whip or whipped cream
Vanilla pudding
- 5.1 ounce vanilla pudding mix instant
- 2 cups milk
Chocolate Pudding
- 5.1 ounce chocolate pudding mix instant
- 2 cups milk
Toppings
- 2 cups Cool Whip or whipped cream
- chocolate optional, shaved
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a mixer mix all the crust ingredients together and press the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake it for about 20 minutes.
- Prepare the vanilla pudding as per the instructions on the package. As noted I used 2 cups of milk instead of the 3 cups on the package instructions to get a firmer pudding.
- Prepare the chocolate pudding as per the instructions on the package. As noted I used 2 cups of milk instead of the 3 cups on the package instructions to get a firmer pudding.
- In a mixer add the cream cheese, powdered sugar and the cup of whipped cream. Mix until light and fluffy.
- Let the crust cool. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust evenly. Spread the vanilla pudding over the cream cheese layer, then the chocolate pudding. Spread the whipped cream as the last layer then top with shaved chocolate if preferred.
- Refrigerate for a couple hours until it sets before serving.
Notes
- Sift powdered sugar before mixing to ensure a smooth cream cheese layer without lumps.
- Use reduced milk in pudding preparation to create firmer layers that hold shape when sliced.
- Chill the assembled dessert for at least a couple of hours to allow it to set properly, preventing a runny texture.
- Adjust milk quantity based on desired pudding firmness; less milk yields thicker pudding layers.
