So rich in flavor, yet very light in texture. This is a lovely chocolate dessert that no one would ever guess was so easy to prepare. This is a must for any chocoholic. It gets "fluffier" the longer it chills, so you'll be doing yourself a favor by adhering to the instructions of chilling for at least 4 hours. Thank you for sharing your recipe, KiminyMe.

<br>I like to cook, and I like having time to cook large meals, especially from other cultures. My family loves Chinese food especially--we eat stir-fry at least twice a week. Greek is second favorite, and I usually do Greek meals a couple of times a month. I also lived in France for several years, so I like to cook French and German foods, too.
