Oh My Gosh! This is divine! it tastes like a mocha cheesecake of an added extra wow. I used 1% cottage cheese, Splenda for the sugar (I added a bit more than ask for) and Cool Whip Light and it was made in 5 mins. WOW. I found that chopped berries worked better for me in the first layer. I totally forgot to add the almonds and to be honest I didn't miss them and only realized that I had forgotten then when I started to write this review. Reds, my dear, you have really outdone yourself with this one. It's going straight into my "All Time Fav's" book. Made for Photo Tag.

Canadian girl that loves to cook for herself and for everyone around her!! I always enjoyed cooking but more so since I started taking better care of myself by eating healthier food (I am a Weight Watchers Lifetime member!). I still love my chocolate though!
