Great and easy recipe to make. I used a springform pan as I didnt have a fluted pan (my old one went to heaven). I made it as per the recipe except that I used a dark eating chocolate instead of baking chocolate..... and it was soooooooo nice. It looks so impressive when made and everyone loved it. So easy and so yummy I must go and buy another fluted pan so as I can make this again !!! Thanks for a great recipe Annisette.
