Heaven In A Pan

[leadmeastray88]

CRUST:

Note: If you're like me and like a thicker crust, I double this!

1 cup chopped pecans

1 cup gluten-free flour

1/2 cup butter

1 tbsp sugar

Melt the butter and add to the dry ingredients. Press into a 9x13 pan and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Cool completely before adding the filling

1st LAYER of FILLING:

1 8-oz package plain cream cheese, softened

1/2 small tub Dream Whip

1 cup icing sugar

Whip together with electric beater and spread over cooled base.

2nd LAYER of FILLING:

1 package Jello vanilla pudding

1 cup cold milk (half of what the box calls for)

Mix together, chill in fridge. Spread on top of 1st layer.

3rd LAYER of FILLING:

1 package Jello chocolate pudding

2 cups cold milk (as directed)

Mix together, chill in fridge. Spread on top of 2nd layer.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill in fridge and ready to be served. When serving, add a dollop of the leftover Dream Whip and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Yum!!

Mmmm, I wish my daughter could have this. I'll have to live vicariously through you guys.

I bet there's a way you could substitute coconut milk products and maybe do something imaginative with nut butters to get something similar. I know there's a new df cream on the market that's derived from nut milks, too--I think it's called mimicreme.

Any particular flour or blend? Or is this an all-purpose gluten-free thing? Otherwise I think we can do this real soon!

We grew up eating this for dessert. My Grandmother calls it Chocolate Delight. It is really, really, really good! My favorite layer is the one with cream cheese. We never used vanilla pudding though. Our layers are crust, cream cheese/sugar/cool whip, chocolate pudding, Cool whip again. Sprinkle toasted pecans on top. I have not made it gluten-free yet, but I've been thinking about it!

Actually, I've heard it called "Mountain Momma Mudslide" and it can even be made with any flavors of puddings. I've made (before I went gluten-free & dairy-free) butter pecan, lemon (then it's called "Lemon Lush"), pistachio, coconut, butterscotch, etc. They're ALL good! It's probably known by many different names depending upon where you live.
