[The Crazy Chef]

I love this recipe. The texture is wonderful and the flavor is out of this world. It was extremely easy to make. I served this recipe along with the fresh pineapple wedges and the wedges seemed to help tone down some of the richness. This is a very rich recipe (which I happen to love rich). Thanks for the great recipe Di.
