What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

My MIL has made this for years. We use macadamia nuts in the crust and double the crust recipe. To make it gluten free I use gluten free mama's almond flour and 1tsp xantham gum per 1c flour. This time I used low fat cream cheese and lite cool whip. It was great and I felt less guilty eating this yummy dish!
