- Run a knife around edge of springform pan to loosen truffle dessert and transfer to a serving plate.

- To serve, cut into wedges{this is a very rich dessert so a little goes a long way}, and spoon Raspberry Sauce over the top of each wedge.

I love to try new recipes and mainly look for ones that are new and different, such as a twist on an old favorite or something no one's ever thought of! I also enjoy writing in my spare time. I live in Northeast Ohio where the weather isn't the greatest, humid in the summer and cold winters- but it has been nice growing up by the lake! I own two wonderful cats who can be quite a handful at times, but my fiancee and I couldn't live without them!
