    Robert Redford Dessert

    One of our accounting dept. staff brought this supah' ono dessert to several office party pot lucks and it always got wiped out! I guarantee if you try this, you won't be able to eat just one serving.. it's THAT GOOD. The flavors and textures are similar to Ted's pies.. just to give an idea of what this is about. I've also done one where I substituted Pistachio pudding instead of Chocolate. Pretty good! But I stll prefer the chocolate-vanilla version. It's called "Robert Redford" because of the implied decadence, but you may just as well name it the "Angelina Jolie".

    ROBERT REDFORD DESSERT

    Bottom Layer:
    • 1 cup unsifted flour
    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
    • 1 cup finely chopped pecans

    Middle Layer:
    • 1 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 9-oz. carton frozen non-dairy whipped topping, thawed

    Top Layer:
    • 1 6-3/4 oz. (large) pkg. instant vanilla pudding mix
    • 1 6-3/4 oz. (large) pkg. instant chocolate pudding mix
    • 3 cups cold milk

    Make the bottom layer by mixing together the flour, butter and pecans until crumb-like. Press the mixture into a greased 9"x13" pan. Bake in a preheated 350º oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Cool.

    Make the middle layer by beating the cream cheese with the sugar until smooth. Fold in half the thawed whipped topping. Spread the mixture over the cooled crust.

    Make the top layer by beating the milk into the pudding mixes until smoooth and thickened. Spread over the middle layer. Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top. A grated chocolate candy bar may be sprinkled over the top for garnishment and further decadence.

    Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours, then indulge and enjoy.
