honestly kathy, you really have to stop serving me these decadent things for breakfast,who can resist.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic...smile.
Oh YUM! That's what I wanted to make for tonight, but we're not allowed to bring anything with nuts in it to the school! So, I made a trifle.
ReplyDeleteAnd now you've got me hungry with nothing but a healthy apple to eat! Patience, Sandy; patience!
Yay- I was looking for an easy, cool and yummy dessert to make for my family this weekend since it's going to be hot outside... and now I know what I'm going to make! :)
ReplyDeleteoh it's been awhile since I had this ..but oh so yummy!
ReplyDeleteSandy, you can make this using a graham crust. I also have a must allergy and have to pass on anything with nuts, so I just substitute...so try it. Kathy
ReplyDeleteYes, this recipe, or variations of it and variations of its name have been around for a long time. But, it sure is a favourite!! I have never had it with instant coffee in it, I would love that!! Thanks! I'm glad that you girls post some new things and some of the old stand-bys!
ReplyDeleteI will be making this one.In my family,if it has chocolate it's got to be good.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
Move over Charlotte, I'm joining you again for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love this recipe! We call it "Weight-Watcher's Delight", which always makes people think it's healthy, but, no, it's just what Weight-Watchers WANT to eat!
ReplyDeleteI used to have this as a little girl and totally forget the name / recipe for it. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThinking here that one could also divide this into individual serving glasses/or fancy teacups right away - a favorite cookie (or broken cookies) on the bottom and then the 3 layers, shaved chocolate curls on top or toasted nuts and voila - an elegant dessert! It's delish!!
ReplyDeletethis sound super delicious, can't wait to make it
ReplyDeleteMust bring this to the next potluck..looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteThose are the kind of desserts I made years ago...and they are still some of my children's favorites.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting.
We used to call this, "The next best thing to (fill in the blank with your sweethearts name)".
ReplyDeleteIt is also good with 2 layers of pudding like vanilla and chocolate or just lemon... Nobody can resist this rich dessert, or seconds.
I have enjoyed so many of the recipes you ladies post.
Thank you and keep 'em coming!
If you are cooking for someone who must limit their carbohydrate and/or fat content:
ReplyDelete-Try substituting sugar-free pudding for the regular;
-Use Splenda (granulated) instead of powdered sugar;
-Omit the sugar in the crust; and
-Consider trying lower fat cream cheese or Cool whip.
And if you sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips or chocolate sprinkles on the top, they add negligible carbs but lot of eye appeal!
