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.

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.
I've been eating it for 45 years :) I love the idea of putting a whole pecan on top. I bet that looks great! Thanks for watching and sharing. Please subscribe and be part of our learning and sharing community.
My mother passed away and I thought this cake was lost upon seeing your video really made my day thank you!
I'm terribly sorry to hear about your mother, but I'm glad you found some comfort in this recipe. It is not easy to find online either. My mother made it for years and still does on occasion. It would be a shame for this one to fade out of existence.
@@HelpatHomeJim give written receipt jello pudding cake Jim hihgtower
@Sabra Todd it's in the description, just print it out.
Same
Jim I got 95% for doing this recipe in my home eco class
I love it! That's awesome! I bet not many people had ever had this one before. Sorry for the delayed response, it's hard to keep up with the comments since it doesn't give notifications to me.
Help at Home ok it is fin but a lot of my friends in my class loved it
I loved the recipe, I loved the way you presented it to us, with your brilliant sense of humour. Keep this going, I was having a bad day and you cheered me up. Thank you. Ruth
Good for you, great score!
Awesome!
I have never laughed so hard during a recipe video. You are hilarious! I died when you threw those sucky cooling racks. And it looks delicious 😊
Me too!! I think I have played it for everyone I know, just for the fun. GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR!!!
i laughed too! 😂😂😂😂Puder prowder 😅
I mean, let's be real?! He's real! 😂😂😂❤
My husband would love this because we watch cooking shows and He says no one ever says yuck or that's not right or these gadgets are junk they just show the edited parts not the oh crap I dropped it on the floor kind of stuff.
❤
We called this "farm dessert" because my grandma who lived on our dairy farm made this with Pistaschio pudding instead, whooeeeee it's SO DARN GOOD!! Also written on a 50+ yr old recipe card in our family recipe box!
That's awesome!
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.🍰🍫
Thanks for the info, the lemon variation sounds yummy.
@HelpatHomeJim
Lemon is really good.🍋
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.)😊
Strawberry 🍓 🍰 🍓 could be next...
with fresh strawberries on top.🍓
Ooh butterscotch
Also known as "chocolate" delight, or various other flavors..
My favorite is butterscotch. I am in Mississippi, we call this YUM YUM DESERT.
"We'll just learn together" 😄 "Don't buy these" 😄 Thanks for the recipe and the laughs. I'm going to look up your other videos now. Appreciate ya!
Thank you so much for joining in.
Now… Give it a new twist. Change out the flour in your crust to finely crushed pecan sandie cookies. Maken’ me hungry for some dessert!
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).
Wow, such great information! You made ME hungry. Thanks for sharing and for watching. I appreciate you.
Yum!
I make this dessert EVERY Thanksgiving and Christmas. My family loves it! You don’t need all the mixers. I mix everything by hand and it turns out perfect.
One holiday I didn’t make it. I thought I would try something different. I have a large family and most of them were so upset that this dessert wasn’t there. I make sure it’s there now.
This is my kind of recipe. Cream cheese and pudding with Cool whip. Nutty crust to start,
I am trying to give up some sugar in my diet but memorial day is coming. I can share with others. Thanks Jim this is a keeper.
So funny! I like how you just show life as it is and all the "bloopers" aren't edited out like other people do, makes for a much more entertaining video. Also my mom used to make this all the time and I too have been looking for the recipe online without much luck, so thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I hear you, it is really difficult to find this one online.
I had a great time watching ole Jim…I hope to view your other videos…see you then
This guys one of the only cooks i can watch for the entire video, I’m excited to try this out for my baby shower in a few months! I’ll update you on how everyone likes it!
This is great! Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Best of luck with the baby shower.
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! 🥰
I love your sense of humor, truthfulness and great food
Growing up in the 60s and 70s pudding cake was something very different. We called this chocolate lush.
My aunt called this Mississippi Mud Pie. She'd make it just the same way as you did, but she'd top it with the same chopped pecans that are part of the pie crust and then maraschino cherries, evenly spaced.
Hi Jim, I recently came across this in my mom's recipe box, where she called it "The Next Best Thing to Robert Redford". Lo and behold it's on the net under that title, brought back many memories. You recipe is a close match!
A close version but it's called "better than sex cake", using the mini chocolate chips. Yum, is delicious! 😳
Whata darling
I make this all the time!! ❤ I learned how to make it back in the day in home ec class. I also switch up the flavours too, like strawberry or caramel. I find it easier if you put each layer in the fridge for a bit, it’s easier to add the next layer. 😊.
We used to have it at church dinners years ago and the lady who made it called it chocolate lush. Is was so delicious!
Thank you Jim I was born in1962 and I'm all for the 60s n 70s truly the good ol days❤👍🙋♀️😊
We call this a "Dream Pie", have made it for years and years. No vanilla pudding, all chocolate, dark preferably. Chopped pecans sprinkled on top, no chocolate bar. Delicious, always a star! 😊
Out nane was Chocolate Delite.. No vanilla pudding. Just chocolate.
Looks absolutely delicious.
Lol I loved this! Laughed out loud many times.
Thanks, Jim. You are a lifesaver!
I lost this recipe several years ago and hadn’t been able to find it anywhere. Thank you. I used to make it with pistachio pudding and it was awesome.
Thank You for the smile. I love the uncut, raw and unscripted video. It was so much fun to watch.
I appreciate the kind words. This is one of my earlier videos, so I hope I've improved a bit if you watch some of my later videos 🙂. Thank you for watching and have a great day!
Thanks for bringing back an
"Oldie but a Goodie" ❤
I was in hysterics watching you cook in your tiny kitchen the way you looked for a space to put things then just end up throwing them anywhere you found a space Thank you 👍🇬🇧
Moms are the best..
I found a recipe for grape jello, can of blueberries and a can of pineapple, cream cheese and sour cream.. in my mother’s cook book.. something she always made at thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.. it’s the bomb. Sure miss my mother.. And I’ll make this and eat the whole thing sometimes..
My Mom has that same recipe. She called it blueberry salad.
Please give us the recipe
Yes, I sure miss my mama and my Grannie's too!!! That recipe you mentioned sounds quiet Heavenly.I am 73 and Desert's have really changed. Mama and our Granny's did most everything by scratch!!
I've been making this for years. My family loves it. This past Easter, my son made it, so it is passed down officially now.😊
It is so refreshing to see you not worrying about making a mess, most people spend more time keeping messes to a minimum and i want to scream
Thanks for the Memories I’m 74, good to see this oldie but goodie again🌹
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. 🤔
That's great to hear. There are so many variations that I've often wondered what the original recipe was really called. I've never tried the pistachio, but that and the lemon sound great! Thank you for sharing and for watching.
My brother's girlfriend used to do the pistachio pudding and add sliced bananas between the cream cheese and pudding layers. SO good!!
@@tammycampbell112 That sounds great, I haven't tried that one before. Thanks for sharing!
@@HelpatHomeJim YW!
So glad I came across Jim's pudding cake video. Cake is awesome and video was more watchable than a lot.
Thank you for the kind words, Barbara!
I love this this recipe, I have made this for several years, but I haven’t made it in a while, THANK YOU for reminding me of this amazing recipe!!❤
You are my new favorite! I enjoyed this so much, and cannot wait to try this recipe! You’re a gem, Jim!
Pudder powting, I love it. Now I’m hungry for this. Great video.
I know. Just keeping the real me in there. Ha!
I loved that.
Hi Jim! My family put a cook book together in the early 1990’s, and I have it there. It was called “Southern Spectacular Dessert.” You can also make it with pistachio or butterscotch pudding-but you probably knew that already. I like chocolate, and you’re right about letting the pudding chill for a few minutes to set up before adding the top layer of cool whip. Thanks for the video! I’m glad I found your channel! ❤🍫
Thanks for sharing and for watching. Have a great day!
This was a childhood favorite! Thanks for finding it!
I'm so happy you made this dessert. I made this like 25 years ago and loved it so much. I have thought about it many times over the years but could not remember how to make it. I will be making it in the near future. Thank you. Love from Texas ❤
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.
And how good it is :) Thanks for watching.
I know its been a year since you commented, but if you have the lemon version that you mentioned above, I'd love to give it a try and then make a video. I'd be sure to give you credit. My email is helpathomejim@gmail.com Thank you!
The lemon and pistachio combo was awesome!!
I love it with butterscotch pudding!
@@HelpatHomeJimAs far
as I recall, the only change is to swap in Lemon Instant Pudding in place of the Chocolate or Vanilla or Butterscotch, or what have you. You could probably tweak the crust with the zest of a lemon if you wanted, too. Easy peasy.
This video was a hoot!😄Dream Whip makes the fluffiest pies! Just whip it up, then add your favorite flavor of pudding mix. For the crust, I just use the pre-made grahm cracker crust or chocolate crust. SO FLUFFY!
We use Dream Whip in another family favorite called Cherry Dessert. I made a video on that already if you're interested.
Grew up with this dessert...just a little slice of heaven. You are adorable.
You are a joy to watch! Thank you!!! Can't wait to make it! 😊
Thank you! You won't be disappointed. Here's a tip five years after the video, cut the milk to 3 cups for a firmer pudding layer. Enjoy!
I’ve made this dessert for years. Everyone loves it.
It is certainly a keeper. Thanks for watching.
I'm so glad I happened across this recipe. I needed some ideas for our daylily club meeting this Sunday and 13x9 size is perfect. Thank you for such easy instructions! I enjoyed your personality too! 😊
Thanks for watching and you won't be disappointed.
Well Done Mr. Looks like a Favorite for the who.e Family . Thank You for the recipe .
"Very nice presentation of the pudding cake. Thank You!
This is also known as the Robert Redford dessert. The chocolate and vanilla pudding are mixed separately and done in layers rather than mixing together. 😊
Wow, that's an interesting bit of trivia. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day.
we used to call the Next best thing to Robert Redford dessert.
@@punchylarue4619 I heard something like that before. Thanks for watching!
In the 80s, we called it Ice cream cake. Why, I don't know. But it's delicious no matter what you call it. Really good with an Oreo crust.
@@tammycampbell112 Yes, I heard that about the Oreo crust. By the way if you like Oreo crusts, you might check out my Halloween Dirt Cake. Thanks for watching!
I bet this will be sooo good with a layer of marshmallow fluff like a s’mores pudding cake 🤗
That is a neat suggestion. I've never had a s'mores pudding cake either. Thanks for watching and thanks for the tip.
I whipped this out after watching your hilarious video...I made mine lemon with lemon zest on top...delish it was! Thanks for the video.
Your video gave me a chuckle. Thank you for that. I’m gonna give the recipe a try!
My mom used to make this but she called it Icebox cake. I love this dessert ❤ 😋
Hi Jim. I live in Hawaii . I've been making a form of this dessert since high school. I learned a recipe not exactly the same , but very close to it. I use walnuts instead of pecans. And on top I sprinkle more walnuts. Family and friends love this dessert. Thanks for sharing so other people can make it to.
Thank you for watching. I bet walnuts are great!
My grandma used to make pistachio pudding cake back in the 70s and 80s. We loved it. I have her recipe box. I'll bet the recipe is in there. I'll be digging it out this summer. Thanks for this video
Looking forward to more videos and cooking product TIPS!!
I LOVE your spirit. You seem very personable.🤗💙
Thanks! I did a remake on this video with a few minor changes. Thanks for watching.
Great recipe. I've made this for years, but was told the name was Yum Yum dessert. Same recipe. You can swap out what ever flavors of puddings you like. Always a big hit. Thank you for reminding me of the great old recipe.
Thanks for watching and giving the historic info.
I will try this! Your fun it watch you make it fun. I like your sense of humor.
I haven't had this in many years. Couldn't find the recipe. Thank you for sharing.
Randomly stumbled upon your video and ended up watching the whole thing. Great job! Definitely making this sometime soon.
Thanks for watching. This really is a great dessert. I redid this video just to improve the show a little if you stumble across it again. Enjoy!
Same here!
Written recipe would be delightful. Want some right now. Yummy.. Thank you
Your wish is my command my dear. I found some wonderful software that will take the recipes and put them into plain text for the description and save me a bundle of time. Check it out. This is the first recipe on the channel with complete directions as well as the ingredient list. 💚
If you are watching on a computer or TV just use the pause button, back it up, and write it down, pause as needed.
@@rosanneschiedel5559 I like your spirit. That's exactly what I had to do when watching Julia Child's old French Chef shows. I took notes and typed them up. However, I have added the full recipe with instructions. 🙂
@@HelpatHomeJim ❤❤❤
Printed and video recipe are easily found on Google.
Oh this is the best suprise, I'm 81, lived in South Dakota on a farm. Our church ladies put together a recipe book (70's or 60's) I found that exact recipe. Put it together, was the most delicious dessert I've ever made. I'm going to make for my grandkids, great k. That was so awesome your my dessert guy!! 👍😂
Thank you. I liked the little humor.
Pro tip: cream cream cheese before adding powdered sugar and it will incorporate better. I loved this vid! I needed a laugh today.
Thanks for watching. I'm so glad you liked the video.
Cookie crumble or Vanilla wafers would be good on top also. 😋😋
Haaaaa, You make me laugh! About the cooling racks, thanks for the tip!!!
Looks real good. A favorite for any occasion!!
We put the vanilla and chocolate pudding on separate layers (cut the milk down a bit so it was thicker-I seem to remember adding cook whip to the pudding also), topped the same way and called it Mud Slide Pie.
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.
Thanks for sharing. A lot of people have shared that the pistachio is fantastic. I haven't tried it yet. Have a good day!
Yes! I appreciate your humor & down to earthness!!😅Is that a word? Well it is NOW!!😂SEE YA SOON!
Love the product review!
Hi Jim, this for my family is called “ Betty’s Dessert” I just made it a couple weeks ago as it’s my fav. Dessert. What I don’t get is my crust this last time baking the crust for only 15 minutes, it was almost too crunchy. (But delicious). I always use 2- 8 oz. Of the 1/3 rd fat cream cheese with mine as I love love cream cheese. Now I’m going to have to make it again. Lol
This looks so good. I will definitely make this for my husband’s family who are chocolateholics. I make a cousin of this dessert that disappears so fast I have to make two at a time. 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.
Wow, your recipe sounds great! I'll have to try that with my family. P.S. The extra bit of sugar I mention putting in the crust, can be be left out. This is already so rich. I was just testing variations.
@@tele-scope Thank you! I'm so glad you tried it.
@@tele-scope I'm so glad to hear it. Thanks for telling me.
Hi Jim. It's 4am and just watched your video. I could not stop laughing. Your technics in the kitchen are priceless. Good job.Thanks for putting a smile on my face
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you liked it.
Love a cool refreshing dessert in hot weather
It's called "Next Best Thing To Robert Redford Pie" or "Better Than Sex Pie". I love this recipe and I've had this in my files since I was a teenager. I'm in my 60's now. We also called it "Next Best Thing To Raquel Welch Pie", but I don't think it's listed that way on the internet. Thanks for posting it. I love this dessert!!!!
Thanks for the information. I never knew that, I just knew it was something my mother always made and we loved it. Thanks for watching.
My family has always called this dessert “torte”
Oh I know this one, we called it "sex in a pan"
@@tracycameron2580😂😂😂😂 sex in a pan sounds horrible & hilarious all at the same time…😂😂
Hi Jim! I'm a chef and I have to say that I love your style of cooking! LoL You're teaching that cooking not only is fun but there's definitely going to be mistakes that can and should be laughed at! Have a wonderful week!
Thanks for the kind words. This video is five years old. I still keep learning fun, but I've improved since then. Have a great day!
I remember this cake. I love the idea of sugar in the crust. Will try that.
We called these “Delights” you can make them in any flavor. My favorites, chocolate, lemon lush, banana pudding or pineapple. Key lime is good too. Any pudding flavor you enjoy.
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
Sounds yummy, there are lots of ways to get at recipes sometimes. Thanks for watching.
We called this " Mississippi mud" too. I've made it with a Graham craker crust or the one with walnuts. I also make it with whipping cream it's not as sweet. This is a great cake, though.
@@irenez7439 Sounds like ours are twins 😊 I'd make a homemade brownie base, smooth the top (sometimes I'd pipe roses) & pipe Happy Birthday for special occasions.
Yup, that was the same name in my old church recipes book.🤣
Gotta try this , Thank you for looking for it and sharing.
I bet you will like it 😃.
Yummy! Can’t wait to try it.
We call this dessert “Chocolate Fluff”, “Lemon Fluff”, or any flavor of Jello Instant Pudding that you would care to use. ❤
Thank you for letting me know. I have had all kinds of names thrown at me, but your's sounds more reasonable. I do plan to try the lemon version. I bet it is so refreshing. Thank you for watching!
Nice
So, is this one easy for you or would you still like something else easier and chocolate? I have a great Hershey's brownie recipe that I'm planning to share sometime.
Help at Home ok
I’ve been loving this for about fifty years
You and me both! Thanks for watching and I hope you check out my other videos. A new video will be coming out next week.
Pudder powding love it!!!
Oh man, I need a stand mixer so bad. 😭
Kitchen Aid stand mixers can be pricey, but look for sales and also good financing. You might be interested in checking out a website called Affirm. You apply for credit and then you can use it to buy things online and make monthly payments. I'm not affiliated with them, but I have used them before. Thanks for watching!
Ty for the tip.
Thank you. I had this recipe years ago and lost it. I’m so happy. Thank you again
My pleasure. It is certainly a recipe worth having. I grew up with my mom making this on special occasions.
I had this dessert many, many years ago. It was called "better than Robert Redford dessert". Absolutely delish! Cheers for bringing it back mate.
It looks really good
I agree with you about those crazy folding legs cooling racks.
Oooohh i remember my grandmother making this cake for church put luck!!!! Yummy!!
We called this Chocolate Bomb! Loved the hilarious video!
This is a delicious cake that I had forgotten about so thank you for reminding me of it . Ingredients on my list going to make it this weekend. 😊💜
Looks delicious yummy 😋.
Random pop up video, I’m making this 😋 Thanks !
I have my moms Jello cookbook from 1974. SO many great recipes.
WoW! What a treasure.
It's yum yums. Haven't made one in years. Subscribed! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
