Made as written for the Pick Me Tag Game - I recall not long ago when 1 of my recipes 'murdered" you. I think you described it as "died & gone to heaven". BUT this recipe is definitely your evil revenge. I wonder if the IT folks can add a 10 Star button for this recipe. It is heavenly (pun intended), just like an impossibly smooth mousse or rich creme brulee - only better because it's chocolate . Siggi thought so too because it was our dessert for Valentine's Day. I topped our servings w/a bit of whipped cream & then sprinkled some instant coffee crystals on it. I was proud & he was smiling from ear-to-ear. Thx for sharing this lovely recipe, Mike. :-)

Absolutely delicious -- my new favorite chocolate dessert. Loved the addition of the coffee. I made three large-size ramekins - one for hubby and two for me; afterall, I needed an extra one to do the taste testing. LOL Definitely one of my choices for the Best of 2015. Nancy : )
