Sex in a Pan

Okay, I’ll be honest — I threw this dessert together one night without worrying about how it looked. But here’s the thing: it tasted absolutely fantastic. Some desserts don’t need to look perfect to be irresistible.

This one? Rich, creamy, and a little messy — just like the name suggests.Ā šŸ˜Enough said... now let’s eat.

ā¤ļø Yummy Note

This recipe has been around for decades and still gets giggles every time I mention the name. But once people taste it, all jokes stop — and spoons start flying. It’s cool, creamy, and layered with love (and chocolate).

Sometimes dessert doesn’t need a filter… just a fork.
