I didn’t come up with the name, but it sure looks good. The name of this layered dessert has been around since the 70’s which is pretty impressive if you ask me. No doubt this dessert goes by a lot of other names too. I can’t see my Grandma having served up Sex in the pan at her parties that is for sure.
There are lots of different variations for this dessert but this has to be my favorite tried and tested (several times) recipe for sex in the pan.
It has a pecan crust and two different types of pudding
and whip cream. I will make this just to see the reaction of my guests when I ask them, “If they have room for some sex in a pan.” I’m giggling and blushing just thinking about it. I’ll have the camera ready to catch those expressions.

Tray cakes or slices have often used at buffets for this very reason.
