Sex in a Pan
Ingredients
1/2 cup margarine, melted
1 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup confectioners' sugar
4 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups milk
1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate, melted
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. To Make Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together margarine, pecans and graham cracker crumbs. Pat into a 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until lightly browned; allow to cool completely.
3. In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and confectioners sugar until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping. Spoon mixture into graham cracker crust.
4. Prepare chocolate and vanilla puddings with milk as per package directions. Allow pudding to set before pouring on top of the cream cheese layer. Spread remaining 3 cups of whipped topping over pudding layer; swirl melted chocolate throughout whipped topping.
5. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour. For leftover pie, keep frozen in a tightly covered container. When ready to eat, just cut off a piece and allow to thaw; keep rest frozen.
Changes I Made:
- Instead of margarine, I used butter. They are the same thing anyway.
- Instead of frozen whipped topping, I just used a regular whipped topping can.
- Couldn't find any unsweetened chocolate. So I had leftovers of Nutella spread and used that, melting it a little in the microwave. Works perfectly.
Any Screw-ups?
Yes. For the chocolate pudding, direction said to put it in the microwave for 7-8 minutes. 7-8 MINUTES?!? Cooking for the first time after two years (and first by myself), I didn't want to screw this up. So I put it for 7 minutes. With 2 minutes left, it exploded. I had to scrape whatever was left in the bowl and on the spinny glass of the microwave for the cake.
Results
Not bad. The kids love the cake and my mom said it's pretty good too. I like it though it is waaay too unhealthy, haha. I think it would be a great snack to make when bringing it over to a party. It's quite similar to an ice cream cake.
