Howard Test Kitchen: Cold Fudge Cake

The best recipes are often the ones we grew up with. Ya know, the ones that instantly take us back to our childhood no matter how old we are. And today we're sharing a recipe that takes Patty (who heads up our Test Kitchen) back to her childhood. And you won't believe how easy it is. We'll start by making a crust by combining some melted butter, some flour and lots of finely chopped walnuts and we're going to press that firmly into a baking dish. And into the oven it goes. That takes just minutes. And while that bakes, we make our filling by mixing together some cream cheese, powdered sugar and, get this: some whipped topping. And that's gonna make the filling nice 'n' light. Now, once the crust cools, we'll spread the cream cheese mixture over it (and the easiest way to do that is to spread it with a wet knife so it doesn't stick). And on top of that goes a layer of chocolate, making this even more decadent. And we finish it off with some whipped cream and more nuts. That's it. And once that chills up, it's ready to dig into and if it's Patty's all-time-favorite-go-to dessert, you know it's good. So get the recipe for "Cold Fudge Cake." It's online now so you can enjoy layer after layer of pure heaven in every forkful. Patty, thanks for sharing, and for heading up the Test Kitchen for the last 20 years. After all, you're the reason that we're all going to be saying ... "OOH IT'S SO GOOD
