Chocolate Tiramisu

A yummy dessert - one that is different to the normal tiramisu. My husband came across this recipe in a weekly womans magazine I buy (he likes to flick through my mags!!) and asked me to make it for him. I am not really a dessert person, but I must admit I did like this. Hope you enjoy it.
