A smidgen of brandy would add a little oomph too.

I have a similar recipe but instead of cooking it, you separate the eggs, whisk the whites and turn it into a mouth-watering chocolate mousse. You need good raw eggs, natch. The brandy's a winner here too.

Sharon,

Your cooking tutorials are looking wonderful. Each one better than the last. Time for your cookbook dearie….

If it all tastes as good as you make it look, I may as well just rub it on my hips ….cause that's where it 'll end up anyway.

I am so pleased that you wrote the recipe down. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here, and I think I might just have a minute to whip those ingredients together and make this deliciousness.

Oh, I was going to ask, could I make this as a pie, using a pie crust?
