💖 Blast from the past! You have to make this one!
The very first time I ever ate this yummy dessert was at the yearly family Christmas party as a young girl. My Daddy's side of the family would alway's get together and shared many wonderful recipes. One year my Aunt Evelyn made this beautiful cold dessert called "Four Layer Delight" This dessert was so beautiful displayed in its glass bowl, just to look at it made your mouth water.
🥣 This Dessert has 4 layers / Recipe below:
The bottom layer was a nutty crust layer. It tasted so buttery. The 2nd layer was the sweet cream cheese layer. The 3rd layer was the chocolate pudding layer. The 4th layer was the whip cream and walnuts layer. It just screamed Holiday.

👀 Looks Great in serving dish
During the holiday's many of the dishes we choose to make are foods that not only taste great but look great in a dish. This dessert was one of those desserts. It was so beautiful in her glass dish and caught my eye immediately. You could see all 4 layers of the creamy goodness and I just couldn't resist being the 1st person to spoon out the 1st serving of its chocolate sweetness.
👩 The Best part is...
Aunt Evelyn was happy to share the recipe and I've made it ever since. This recipe is not just perfect for a major holiday like Christmas but it's perfect as a cold dessert on a hot summer night too. Simple ingredients, you can't go wrong with it.
😋 This dessert is packed full of nuts!
Walnuts being my favorite.... I really layer them on, but you can use less if nuts are not your thing. During the Holidays though, heavy nuts seem to be the in thing to do. Nuts are on everything! Smileeeeee ~You can change up the nuts too if you want to. I've used pecans and that was good. I've even tried macadamia nuts with white chocolate pudding and that was fantastic!!
