Not for those who don't like things rich. I have this recipe originally cut out from a magazine and I have not had one bf not go head over heels for this. Haha.

This was very good but the recipe was hard to read. The directions were in one big paragraph, not split up into steps, this should be fixed. The time it takes is not correct, it take much longer than stated. The mixture on the stove took 30 mins to cool alone. We'll enjoy it but I won't take the trouble of making this again.

I've made this same recipe for years. It is rich, dense, and just super chocolatey. A very elegant, impressive dessert. I make a small pool of a vanilla creme sauce on the plate, then place a slice of this loaf, then 3 small round pools of raspberry sauce on top of the vanilla sauce, about the size of a quarter.Draw a small sharp knife point through the raspberry sauce, and it ends up looking like hearts.

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!!!
