In this video, join Ivy Odom as she walks you through how to make a Jimmy Carter dessert (otherwise known as Jimmy Carter cake). Similar to a chocolate delight, this rich dessert uses peanut butter in both the creamy layers and also in the cake’s graham cracker-like crust. Combined with chocolate pudding and a whipped cream topping, this delicious dish would make the former president and peanut farmer proud.

00:00 We're making Jimmy Carter dessert.
00:02 We've already made a few versions of Chocolate Delight
00:04 or Husband's Delight or Girdle Buster
00:06 or whatever your family calls it.
00:08 And this Jimmy Carter dessert really isn't much different
00:11 than those except for the fact that Jimmy Carter cake
00:14 or Jimmy Carter dessert, it's another one of those
00:16 with multiple names, has peanut butter and a peanut crust
00:19 to make it stand apart from the other
00:21 just chocolate variations of layered creamy goodness.
00:24 This crust is sort of a basic graham cracker crust
00:27 but with finely chopped peanuts.
00:29 That's topped with a layer of cream cheese,
00:31 peanut butter, brown sugar and whipped topping
00:33 before it's slathered with chocolate pudding
00:35 and more whipped topping
00:37 then garnished with chocolate chips.
00:38 We have no idea if President Jimmy Carter
00:40 actually loved this dessert or if it's named after him
00:43 because he's from the peanut fields of Georgia.
00:45 But we do know that it is certainly delicious.
