Raise your hand if you know who Robert Redford is…of course you do. Now, raise your hand if you knew he had a dessert named after him. Ok, I really don’t know why this delicious layered pudding dessert is named after one of the most famous actor/directors of all time, all I know is that it is one of those desserts I will always remember my mom making for us growing up. My husband lovingly refers to this as “Bobby B”. It has a pecan crust, cream cheese, pudding, and cool whip layer. It is great for a summer get togethers. I guarantee everyone will be asking for the recipe. Alright, now go watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and make some Robert Redford Dessert! layered chocolate pudding dessert
