  1. I made two of these a day ahead for a New Years get together, is is such an easy delicious dessert, it's rich so a small piece goes a long way! I served it with whipped cream, and I am going to try this using white chocolate next time I make it... thank you Marg!...Kitten:)
     
  2. This has to be the easiest most decadent dessert that I have ever made. And so simple. I made it in honour of my Mom for for Mothers Day and we all loved it. served it the 1st nite with whipped cream. The 2nd nite my hubby served it with coffee ice cream, whipped cream and a dash of cinnamin. YUM. Thank you for sharinf such a versitale and delicous dessert that will now be a stable part of of entertaining menus.
     
  3. I prepared this as directed by the recipe and it went together perfectly. I popped it in the freezer for what ended up being 6 hours. I may not have let the chocolate cool down enough before adding the whipping cream mixture. The loaf did not set as firm as I would have liked, however it was plenty firm enough to slice. The flavor is so good and the texture was creamy. If it would not affect the outcome, I would like to try letting some of the streaks from the whipping cream show in the loaf! That would show nicely when sliced. I am planning on sharing the rest with my neighbors, not because I want to get rid of it, but because we love our neighbors! Very good and easy! Thanks CountryLady!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!! On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges! We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006. I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted.
