CHEF’S NOTE

"This chocolate dessert is reminiscent of a rich chocolate cake, but takes only a few minutes to make and requires no baking. You can make it either as a single dome, as individual portions, or in bite-size snack portions. The sauce is an added touch that makes the dessert even more delicious. Careful: if you make the sauce in advance and refrigerate it, you’ll have to heat it slightly before you can pour it".
