Yummy, Gooey, Chocolate, Vanilla, Delicious Dessert - Recipe Review

Serving of chocolate dessert
Reviewing a Delicious Dessert 

I imagine that this dessert has an official name in a cookbook or an online cooking or recipe website somewhere.  But when I first acquired the recipe from a co-worker who had brought the dessert to work to share, she called it 'yummy, gooey, chocolate, vanilla delicious dessert'.  And that's how it has been known in our household ever since! We have made it many times and always enjoy it immensely.  

If you are looking for a non-fattening dessert, you won't find it here among the cream cheese, powdered sugar, Cool Whip, butter, puddings and milk. Not to mention the walnuts and Hershey Bar. But for a delicious dessert, it is unparalleled in taste!

SUMMARY NOTES



The most interesting part of this dessert (which makes a WHOLE lot, filling the 12 x 10 x 2 inch pan I use as seen in these photos) is that it KEEPS really well and tastes even better the longer it is kept chilled in the refrigerator. Of course you could make a smaller batch, but we most often make it for a larger gathering or a party occasion. And this yummy dessert seldom lasts long enough to store more than one or two days around us!

  1. It sounds delicious and easy to make! I doubt it would last more than a day or two at our holiday gatherings either. It sounds perfect for a church potluck or party where everyone brings a dish. Thanks for the recipe! Chocolate is always a hit!

  7. I have this recipe without the cream cheese in it. Also, I can't eat Cool Whip so I use real whipped cream so it is even more decadent! Will have to try it with the cream cheese layer. Happy New Year!

    1. Yum! REAL whipped cream -- nothing better. I LOVE (real) whipped cream desserts. My dad worked for a department store in Rochester, NY whose bakery once made whipped cream cakes and eclairs with real whipped cream and they were 'to die for!' I've never tasted anything better and bakeries don't make them anymore (too hard to keep fresh). I sure miss my whipped cream eclairs!
