This recipe is a Paleo recreation of traditional Sex in a Pan, which is layers of pudding, cream cheese and whipped cream stacked on a sweet crust. I changed the ingredients to be dairy-free, grain-free, and refined sugar free, but still accomplished six layers of decadence!
I don’t know where the name originates, but the first time I came across a recipe for Sex in a Pan was
Chocolate-Covered Katie’s version. I immediately resolved to make a Paleo iteration sweetened only with dates and bit of honey, and yet preserve amazing taste. Developing my version was quite an adventure: more than an hour was required to put together the layers! I was worried that the textures would simply fail (would layers upon layers of dessert goo really work when it came to slicing and eating?) but with the addition of palm shortening, the chilled final result is actually quite firm.
When I served the first slice to
the best taste-tester a girl could ever have, I crossed my fingers and waited for the verdict. Which turned out to be… “Oh, babe! You nailed it. But what the hell is this?” Ha, it was a success but nothing else is quite like Sex in a Pan, especially Paleo Sex in a Pan!
If you’re wondering why there’s some pieces missing from the pan in the photos, it’s because I couldn’t bear to stop and photograph it before sampling! Particularly good with a glass of icy black coffee.
