Be sure not to overcook this, or it will be very dry inside.

I would just add a dollop of whipped cream, And call it a slice of chocolate heaven!

Did not cook in 45 minutes. Took well over an hour to get the center to set and then the outside was crusty. Very, very rich, almost sickening. Small slices are the way to go.

This was easy to make and our family loved it. I am definitely making it again.
