My mother calls it Layered Delight.

Mississippi Mud Cake was another favorite, but it’s a fudgy chocolate cake baked in a rectangular pan.

I think this is what one side of my family called Better than Sex Pie. The other side called it Better than Paul Newman Pie.

Quality ingredients like home made whip cream instead of Cool Whip make the difference.

i'd like to get a consensus on this. i can't get whipped cream to stay stiff overnight like cool whip.

don't get me wrong, i absolutely HATE that hydrogenated oil crap, but for this particular application I'm not sure homemade whipped cream would work as well.

what say those who have made this before? I don't want to whip up a batch of heavy cream only to find the dessert ruined thanksgiving morning when i go to take it out of the fridge.

..and we have too much going on thursday to make it then. i will need to do it the day before.

I'll say this and then step away from the argument. Use Cool Whip. This recipe was not developed and made popular by Whipped cream people.

I don't think you'll ever get anybody to agree with anything other than what pleases their palate, as it should be.. but I like to up the quality of the ingredients with what we have available today.. because to me, there is a substantial improvement in the quality of taste say for example, between jello instant pudding and Girardelli chocolate that's cooked into a pudding, and the same goes for the taste of the whipped creme. The person who's making it, of course has to know what they're doing.. but if you put two side by side, I don't think either one would get turned away.
