Jello Pudding Cake - Bringing Back A Classic Favorite

[@tammykelsall3196]

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.

[@HelpatHomeJim]

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.

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.

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.🍰🍫

[@HelpatHomeJim]

Thanks for the info, the lemon variation sounds yummy.

[@jillbrady4036]

@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.🍓

My favorite is butterscotch. I am in Mississippi, we call this YUM YUM DESERT.

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!

This is great! Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Best of luck with the baby shower.

[@JR-yy1iv]

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! 🥰

[@jrumulls-jana9368]

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.

[@jrumulls-jana9368]

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.

[@michelletoll]

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).

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.

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! ❤🍫

[@mommylearner7255]

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.

[@HelpatHomeJim]

And how good it is :) Thanks for watching.

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

Thanks, Jim. Back in the day, we called it, "the next best thing to Robert Redford". Only difference was the recipe called for chocolate pudding. Delicious!!!

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.

[@Luna.3.3.3]

@@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.

[@helenfine493]

Yup, that was the same name in my old church recipes book.🤣

Thanks for watching and for the kind words. I hope you'll join the channel. Have a great day!

[@shirenen8807]

We call this dessert “Chocolate Fluff”, “Lemon Fluff”, or any flavor of Jello Instant Pudding that you would care to use. ❤

[@HelpatHomeJim]

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!

[@pascualamontes1826]

Love your personality. I watch your videos from beginning to end. I made this using the 2 tbsp sugar in the crust. It was a hit!! Thanks so much.😊

[@HelpatHomeJim]

Thank YOU for watching! I'm so glad you made it.

[@HelpatHomeJim]

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.

Oh man, I need a stand mixer so bad. 😭

[@HelpatHomeJim]

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!

[@katherinehendrix5325]
