Great dessert: sex in a pan

Looking for a great dessert? Sex in a pan is a delicious recipe. Six layers of sweetness (with of course chocolate) make a great treat.

Today a special recipe that I'm already encountered many times on the Internet and I've adapted it a bit (a recipe made from scratch), and from which I'm not sure who wrote it down first.

The name seems original to have been Six in a pan, but after tasting the dish someone gave a thought of pimping the name. After creating and eating this dessert, I agree with that person!

• Prepare the pudding and cream cheese layer in advance, so you'll assemble this dessert quite easily.
• Use a glass so you can see all the different layers.
• If you don't have a lot of time buy pudding mixes.
• You can use white chocolate instead of milk chocolate
• Substitute walnuts with pecans.

Preparation and storage

• you can prepare this dessert early in the morning.
• If you want to store it a little longer put each layer in a separate airtight container. The pudding and cream cheese layer can be stored for up to two days in the refrigerator. The crumble can be stored for a week at room temperature. Don't make your whipped cream in advance.
• You can't freeze this dessert
