Christy Freeman
"'Heaven on a spoon' is how one friend describes this chocolaty dessert. My husband, Allen rates it best of all the special treats I've made. The filling can also be used for a pie."

I don't know what I did wrong b/c mine was the consistancey of a melted milkshake. My egg combo did get away from me as I had some tiny pieces of scramble eggs. The flavor was good though.

I made this as a dessert to follow my 1 year anniversary dinner. It is amazing! It is also very rich. I've got a sweet tooth, so I didn't mind. My husband, on the other hand isn't normally a ...
