The texture was lovely and the addition of the crème anglaise rather than the usual whipped-cream topping was excellent. I used rum as an alternative for the Strega or kirsch, but next time, I think I will use kirch, as I am not a big fan of the flavor of Strega. I also like the fact that this can be made up to two days in advance. Great for a dinner party. Two thumbs up. [Dede Eran] I have made versions of this before but this one is definitely a winner.

This was the highlight of the entire evening. My friends loved it and asked for more. Instead of using a footed glass bowl, I used individual champagne glasses with chocolate spoons, to give it an extra zing for presentation. Of course I had long-handled teaspoons on the side, so none of this fantastic dessert would be left in the glass! I will truly make this again. The recipe was easy to follow and makes an elegant presentation at any dinner party. [Robin Rice-Foster] I am still on a chocolate high. This was the highlight of the entire evening.

I molded individual servings for dinner guests and served the crème anglaise pooled on the plate with shaved chocolate. I received wow raves from everyone—they wanted it rated a ten! I especially liked being able to assemble the dish two days ahead for company. [Sandy Hill] This was an elegant, beautiful, and delicious dessert.
