I’m going to give you the recipe, but I wanted to give you a little story about this dessert first. It is SOOOo delicious btw. Don’t even LOOK at the recipe if you are on a diet. LOL…
Ok for the story…
we’ve been making it for years, since I was little *of course the recipe has changed over the years* but I can remember making it with my Grandma Nay, my moms mom. She just called it Momma Cheesecake. I always said, “why is it called cake?!”
well anyway..we’ve been eating it in our family for years. Not lately though, not for a while.
well, Sis LOVES to watch Paula Dean on the food network. You know that lady with the REAL southern drawl. Now I have an accent, but LORDY…. that lady is “suth-rn ya’ll”. hehehe…
well, the other day Sis yells out, real southern drawl, “Momma Momma, Mrs Paula’s making Mommas Cheesecake come look!”
and sure nuff…
Paula was making her version or “Mommas Cheesecake”! So now my daughter thinks I’m super famous because I obviously TAUGHT Mrs Paula how to make Mommas Cheesecake.
so of course they kids have been hounding me a few days to make it, and when they came home from fishing earlier they were totally bummed they didn’t catch anything…. so this Momma… made Mommas Cheesecake… and everyone went to bed full and happy. Plus, now I’m kewl cuz I know Mrs Paula. (not really, but try explaining that to Sis. LOL)
anyway…
(the old fashioned way is by making the cheesecake from scratch. THIS way is WAY easier!)
for the recipe
Mommas Cheesecake
2 boxes CHEESECAKE FLAVORED PUDDING
2 cups heavy cream*
2 cups milk
berries of your choice
baggy full of crushed Graham crackers
whipped topping
Prepare the pudding packages by adding the milk and heavy cream and mixing with a wire whisk until WELL blended. Refrigerate until set. (about 5 minutes)
While the pudding is setting up, slice up your berries in a bowl, and crush some grahams in a baggy.
To serve (this is the part my kids LOVE…let kids do their own, they’ll love you for it!)
Using a parfait glass or serving dish, layer your ingredient. Layer of graham crumbles (for the crust) layer of pudding, layer of berries, (repeat?) top with whipped topping (or how ever you like!)
*now if you are a cheesecake connoisseur then you may just want your a little “richer”. Yes, it CAN be richer. lol.. replace a cup of that heavy cream with EAGLE BRAND SWEETENED MILK. OMG yummmmmmmmmm…..
ok, back. talking about it made me have to have some more. LOL.. and NOW we know why I have put on so much weight this year! hahaha! oh well.. mmmmmm… me likey!
hahhah!
