I remember my mother making this when I was in high school. So somewhere along the line, someone created this recipe and they thought it was so delicious that they dubbed it as “Better Than Robert Redford.” I guess Robert Redford was kind of a big deal back in the day. I’d personally call it “Better Than George Clooney.” I’m sure everyone has their own version.
It’s a simple layered dessert with a pecan shortbread crust. The layers are made of of pudding and a creamy no-bake cheesecake layer. If things like instant pudding and Cool Whip aren’t your thing, then this is not the dessert for you.
I must say… I served this recently at a summer barbecue, and every single bite was eaten up rather quickly. It’s an easy dessert recipe that everyone seems to love.
