great recipe and so cool for summer desert. I added a layer of butterscotch pudding made from directions on package along with the chocolate pudding layer. it gave it an extra kick so great!

Good, easy...not over the to sweet. Easy to change pudding flavors to suit your family.

I have been looking for the recipe. this had been a famous desert in my family but everyone seemed to lose their recipe. none of us could remember what the cream cheese layer was made out of. We use pecans instead of walnuts and add a layer of french vanilla pudding too. We always called it tuxedo pudding. thanks for the recipe

Made before, but this time I lightened it up a bit by usining 1% milk and only 1/2 the amount listed, light cream cheese and light cool whip to cut back on calories. Topped with chocolate sprinkles because my family doesn't like nuts. No one seemed to miss extra fat and calories.

Rich flavor, easy to make, this was a great cool dessert. This isn't really a "cake" more like a flat pie. This makes a lot and it would be great for pot luck dinners. This could easily be changed to any flavor pudding you have handy or something you prefer. Thanks for a great recipe.

Great recipe. I make this for family gatherings and everyone always loves it.

I have been making a dessert like this for years. It has so many different names. My family likes it best with a graham cracker crust, and I always just use half the amount of milk than what it calls for on the box of pudding. We use all different kinds of puddings, but our favorite is still chocolate. We also top it with grated chocolate or drizzle it with chocolate syrup instead of using nuts. I really dont't think you can go wrong with this recipe.

This is not a traditional "cake" by any stretch of the imagination, so don't know why it's called one here. What it is is a delicious dessert that we know as "Striped Delight", the name of the recipe a co-worker shared with me some years ago. Since my husband doesn't like nuts in or on anything, I omit them from the crust and topping. That makes a rather thin crust that barely covers the bottom of the 13X9 pan, so I use one and half times the crust ingredients to ensure having enough for a nice crust. The chocolate layer here is a bit sparse, so I use two packages of pudding to the 3 cups of milk called for to make a thick, firm filling. I also find adding an extra 3 oz. package of cream cheese makes a nicer first layer, too. A 12 ounce container of Cool Whip is more than enough for both the filling and topping to suit our taste. We especially enjoy this made with chocolate pudding, but find that lemon makes a refreshing dessert, too. The only "problem" with this yummy dessert is, once we start eating it, it's hard to stop!

Excellent - I topped mine with mini-chocolate chips. Every time my nephew visits from New York, he requests this dessert.

Should only have 2 cups milk. 3 cups makes it too watery. Just follow the directions on the pudding box. Otherwise, it was delicious!

This is always a hit! I top mine with chocolate chips or grated chocolate instead of the walnuts.

Delish! We call it "Better than Sex" cake....oh, and we love it with Pistachio Pudding!

Such a recipe can made so many ways, very versible, using different puddings, pie fillings, and different crust if want, the graham cracker crust instead.

Wonderful! I did change the milk to 2 1/2 cups, as suggested and it was not watery at all.

This was great! I don't care much for instant chocolate pudding but with the added ingredients it was wonderful. Served it at an office lunch and everyone liked it.

This is a very addicitve dessert, but a VERY sweet dessert. We used pistachio pudding, and it was wonderful. I do think I willuse 1/2 cup conf. sugar next time, but a very great dessert. Thanks
