Vseward (Chef~V)'s Note:

This is my version of the popular Robert Redford Dessert. The crust has a nice crunch while the pudding and whip cream just melt in your mouth. So Good.

My aunt makes this dessert but she calls it Guadalupe River Pudding. One of my all time favorite desserts

Okay, I cheated. I couldn't stand waiting overnite for this luscious dessert so I took a small bite...and another...and another. Yum!!! But V is absolutely right...it is even BETTER if you let it sit overnite. (Ha! Good luck.) This recipe is just fabulous! Thanks, V for sharing a delicious, quick and easy dessert.

This is nummy dessert. I used walnuts because I ran out of pecans. I will definitely make this again. Made for Market tag 2007.
