BETTER THAN SEX DESSERT

It's always the first thing to go at parties and it's nice because you can make it the night before and...

Categories     Puddings

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c chopped pecans or walnuts
1 c flour
1/2 c softened butter
1 c powdered sugar
8 oz cream cheese softened
1 large tub cool whip thawed
3 1/2 c milk
Two-16 oz packages instant lemon, chocolate or vanilla pudding

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray. In medium bowl, mix together flour, pecans, and butter to form coarse crumbs. Press firmly into the 9 x 13 pan. Bake in 350 oven for 10-14 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes or more. You can place this in the freezer while preparing other ingredients.
  • 2. In the same bowl you used for the crust beat together powdered sugar and softened cream cheese with the electric mixer (it is very important that cream cheese is at room temperature or you will get lumps). After it is fluffy fold in 1/2 tub cool whip mixing lightly until combined.
  • 3. After crust is completely cooled, spread cream cheese/cool whip mixture over crust. This is tricky so do it in smooth motions. Put in refrigerator while preparing pudding.
  • 4. To prepare pudding, put both packages of pudding mix in a bowl and whisk in 2 cups cold milk and whip by hand until smooth. Make sure everything is combined well and pudding is very smooth.
  • 5. Spread pudding over cream cheese layer. Top with remaining cool whip. Chop up a few nuts finely and sprinkle over top. Cool in refrigerator for two hours or overnight covered with plastic wrap.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients and equipment are ready. This will prevent scrambling during the baking process.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Room temperature ingredients, especially butter and eggs, blend better, resulting in a smoother cake batter.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: Creaming butter and sugar until light and fluffy incorporates air into the mixture, creating a tender and voluminous cake.
  • Add Eggs One at a Time: Gradually adding eggs one at a time helps prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do Not Overmix: Overmixing the batter can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use High-Quality Chocolate: The quality of chocolate significantly impacts the cake's flavor. Opt for high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for a rich and decadent taste.
  • Bake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: Baking time may vary depending on the oven and pan size. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This helps prevent the frosting from melting and ensures even distribution.

Conclusion:

Indulge in the ultimate chocolate experience with this "Better than Sex" cake. Its rich, decadent flavor and moist, fluffy texture make it a perfect dessert for any occasion. Follow these tips and the detailed recipe to create a masterpiece that will leave your taste buds wanting more. Remember to use high-quality ingredients, take your time, and enjoy the baking process.
