Sex in a pan; it’s a crazy name for a dessert and no one’s really sure where the name comes from, but it is a really delicious dish that is great for any occasion. This Sex in Pan recipe has six decadent layers for you to enjoy.

Sex in a pan; it’s a crazy name for a dessert. 

Traditionally it’s made with six layers: a pecan and flour crust, a cream cheese layer, instant vanilla pudding, instant chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and shaved chocolate.

 It’s truly decadent.

This paleo-fied version is just as amazing, without the need for grains, refined sugar, dairy, or anything instant or packaged.

 My family could not believe it was dairy-free; and asked me to make it again soon!

Another awesome thing about this recipe is that it’s full of healthy fats from coconut milk, coconut oil, avocado, and dark chocolate.

 It’s quite a satisfying dessert and a great way to end any meal.
