Notes
This is a very rich dessert, my husband and I usually share one so this recipe lasts us a few days.
Sides and toppings: I top mine with powdered sugar, vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream.
If you aren’t a fan of chocolate, you can substitute white chocolate and serve with fresh fruit or a fruit puree.
