Sex in a Pan
Sex in a Pan is a layered dessert starting with a pecan and butter crust baked until firm. It features a creamy layer of whipped cream, cream cheese, and powdered sugar, followed by firm vanilla and chocolate pudding layers. The final topping of whipped cream and optional shaved chocolate adds lightness and decorative appeal. Chill time allows the layers to set for neat slicing.

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.
