  • Jello Pudding Cake - Bringing Back A Classic Favorite
    In this video I bring back a classic favorite (from the 60s or 70s) that is so good, that I can't believe it has practically disappeared online. Luckily, I found it in my mother's recipe box. Once you try this recipe you will wonder how you got along without it, especially in the summer heat.

    1 Stick Margarine 1 9.0z, Cool Whip
    1 Cup Chopped Pecans 1 Cup. Powdered Sugar

    1-8 oz Cream Cheese 1 Pkg. (small) Choc. Pudding
    1 Hershey Bar 4 cups milk (use 3 cups for firmer pudding)
    Mix the margarine, chopped pecans and flour and at into oblong, pan, Bake 20 min @ 350°. Cool.
    Mix the cream cheese, 1 cup of the Cool Whip, and 1 cup powdered sugar and spread on crust.
    Then Mix as on the package instructions the vanilla and chocolate pudding and spread over the

    Been making this for 35 years. All flavors are good. Pistachio, butterscotch, banana, and chocolate. I like to score the top into serving squares and put a single whole pecan on top, placing them on the square on a diagonal. Makes a pretty presentation.

    Hey Jim, first time watching.
    Your 'Jell-o Pudding Cake' is also known as 'Chocolate Lush'...
    The origional recipe was
    a 'Lemon Lush' with many variations...like chocolate, butterscotch, pumpkin, pistachio, vanilla, strawberry, etc.
    The lady that made it online said that the recipe has been in her family for at least three generations.
    When you make the cheesecake layer add some chocolate flavor.
    I used Hershey's chocolate syrup,
    about 1 tablespoon or to taste.🍫
    It was for a birthday party and everyone really liked it. It was the first time that I made that flavor.🍫
    I made the lemon one for Easter.🍋
    I put fresh lemon juice in the cheesecake and some grated lemon rind, too. My husband
    and the rest of our family
    really liked it.🍋
    Trying new recipes is fun!
    I enjoyed watching your video.😊
    Thanks, Jim.🍰🍫

      Our daughter ate some,
      and she doesn't even like lemon.
      I still want to try the other flavors.
      We have a big family,
      five kids, and three are married.
      (Plus, five grandkids, so far.)😊

      with fresh strawberries on top.🍓

    The Original recipe is called Lemon Lush, use 2 packages of lemon pudding instead of chocolate and vanilla. The chocolate version has many names, but "6 Pie" (6 layers) is used more often. Also good with butterscotch, chocolate and heath bars crushed on top. Thank you for keeping this classic 70's recipe going! My family always has to make a chocolate(no vanilla) and a lemon for EVERY holiday and even make an eggnog flavored one with 2 cheesecake puddings, nutmeg and dash of cinnamon, a mix of half eggnog/half milk for the pudding mix, then a very light dusting of nutmeg on top for presentation... delicious!! They freeze wonderfully! Just chill in fridge between layers(per the norm), once final layer is on, return to fridge for a few hours to set, pre-cut the pieces before freezing. We serve frozen Lemon Lush and Eggnog Pie! Lemon Lush is phenomenal frozen during these hot Southern summers! Enjoy! (You can also use cans of pie filling instead of puddings, blueberry on top of lemon is delicious too garnish with fresh blueberries and very thinly sliced sugared lemon twists or grated zest).

      If you make it with chocolate pudding, you may want to add the final layer within about a half-hour of the time you plan to serve this dessert. The chocolate can sort of bleed or leech into the next layer, leaving a slightly discolored area, if it sits in the fridge too long when made in advance. If you don't mind that and are pressed for time with other things, prep away! God bless you and baby! 🥰

    Darlin', I've been making this pudding treat for over 45 years. BUT, I learned to do it with pistachio pudding. Pretty much the same steps, same ingredients and measurements, except pistachio instead of chocolate. Down to the chocolate shavings on top. Lately I've been using different flavors of instant pudding. They're all so good! Yum! I'll bet a lemon one will be cool and refreshing this summer. Maybe some sugared thin lemon peel strips on top. Hmm, have to try that. 🤔

    Hello. My mom makes this all the time...three different varieties - the classic chocolate and vanilla one, also lemon, and finally the pistachio version. She’s had the recipe for decades (since at least the 70s), and it’s pretty much what she considers her ‘signature’ dessert because nobody else in her very large family of brothers and sisters makes it. We just call it ‘The Jello Fridge Dessert’ because we don’t really think of it as cake. More like pudding and whipped cream bars.

    This recipe has been around a long time, but we always called it “the next best thing to Robert Redford.” We always cooled each layer before adding the next. We also sprinkled chopped nuts on top (we used to use walnuts, even for the crust). This was always a family favorite. I’ve always thought a layer of chocolate pudding and a separate layer of pistachio pudding sounds good, but I have never made it.

I uses vanilla wafers and chocolate pudding in layers then top with homemade whipped cream after the pudding sets up. I’m not a chocolate fan, grew up in the vanilla flavoring business, but even I can’t resist it.

    I am 75 and have been making it for 40 years……it is wonderful hot weather dessert and everyone will think you spent hours on it. You can also make it with sugar free pudding, sugar free Cool Whip, lower fat Neufchâtel cream cheese….I like to toast the nuts for the crust. I also use hard WHITE whole wheat flour…..now I grind my own wheat but you can buy hard WHITE wheat flour at the store…Gold Medal or King Arthur. I also like to use sliced, toasted almonds in the crust and then sprinkle toasted sliced almonds with the grated Hershey bar on top…or make some beautiful chocolate curls for the top. Be sure not to use any Nestle products…I have been boycotting them since the 1970’s. Just do a “Nestles Crimes” search on UA-cam…they are NOT a nice, caring, upstanding company…at all. So glad you found and shared this recipe from your mother’s book….YUM!

    This reminds me of a dessert I used to make called 'Mississippi Mud'. I think I made a graham crumb crust, so it was a no bake.(OR, I'd make a brownie base) I never use cool whip (I don't like the ingredients) - used handmade whipped cream instead. So my only 'cheat' ingredient was chocolate pudding mix. I'd serve it frozen, which was great for summer birthdays
