A fun tasty, AND beautiful dessert that will stun at parties.
As you can tell from the photo, this is such a family favorite that I couldn't even get a photo before one of my gremlins snatched a bite of it. This is a staple comfort food that's been in my family for years. I've tweaked and experimented with the old recipe that used to require baking and making custard. To me, especially with our busy lifestyles, this one is quicker and just as nummy. I think my gremlins agree.
Granny Mae Wisdom--If it ain't broke, don't fix it. But sometimes even perfection could use a little chocolate.
I sometimes substitute mini chocolate chips for the grated chocolate, or put the chips in a nut chipper to shred it. It works just as well.
