i made this loaf for my family for thanksgiving this year...it was one of the most spectacular desserts i've ever made or tasted!!! everyone loved the flavor and richness of the mousse and since it is a very dense dessert a small slice really goes a long way...i made no alterations to the recipe, but after the loaf had set for 6 hours in the fridge, i added an oreo cookie crust...i simple crushed 20 cookies in my small food processor, added 1/4 cup of granulated white sugar and 4 tbsp melted butter (1/2 stick), mixed together and spread on top of the loaf, pressing down lightly to make sure that the crust was firm but not as to damage the integrity of the mousse...you MUST let the mousse set before adding the crust or it will sink into the mousse!!! needledd to say that it added a wonderful base for slicing and serving and the additional texture was a great complement!!! this is a sure winner for the chocolate lovers in your life!!!
