This is beyond heavenly! It is exquisite, elegant and melt in your mouth good. I made it for our anniversary so instead of a crust, I ground almonds and put them in the bottom of of crystal champagne glasses. Then put a layer of the cream and shaved some high grade chocolate on; another layer of creme and topped it all with more shaved chocolate and a few more almonds. It is VERY rich and filling so it does easily make 10 servings. It was so good my husband told me to put it in my heirloom recipe book for our girls. Thank you Scout33. This will be our dessert for special occasions. One of those you could look a lifetime for.
