Chocolate Seduction Failure

I have wanted to post this recipe for so long, but couldn't name it. My boyfriend and I finally named it yesterday. In my family, it was known as Cheryl's Dessert because the band teacher brought it to Thanksgiving dinner. We added my mom's homemade pudding to it. It has it's new name because I used it to try to seduce my boyfriend last summer, but he was so satisfied that he had no use for me after eating it! The pudding recipe works for cream pies or parfaits or even banana or rice pudding. Just omit the cocoa and add banana or rice or coconut at the end. Preparation and cooking times do not include chilling time. All times are estimates.
