Robert Redford . . . . I'm too young to really know who this guy is. American actor, native Californian, heart throb to many (just not me). You can read about him here. He sure was popular though . . .and to have a dessert named after you . . .well, we can all hope for that someday!!
If you like desserts that are cool and decadent - this one is for you! This is an old favorite from my mom's recipe box. It has a crust, a cheesecake-y layer, a chocolate pudding layer, and whip cream layer. How can you not love all that?? Oh, and by the way - it makes an 9x13 pan. I cut the recipe in half when I made it this afternoon.
I believe it may go by many other names . . .but it will always be Robert Redford for me :)
