While I have not made this as posted here, The crust is almost the same as the one I use for my chocolate cheesecake, but now I am going to have to try adding the cocoa nibs to it. I have made the filling and used it in another way. I make the filling minus the rum and use it to fill small chocolate cups, top with a bit of chocolate whipped cream, sprinkle with cocoa if desired and you have another cooking school desert to impress your guests. Again it is very rich, so the small chocolate cups are a better option than the larger ones. I have used all 3 varieties of cups, white, milk & dark chocolate.

I'm a mother of two great kids, Kitty & Matthew. and trying to catch up for the lost time that I didn't make cookies and cakes for the kids ( or even a decent meal for my husband of 15 years Doug) while I in school studying to be a Nurse Practitioner. My 2008 New Years Resolution is to make dinner at least 3 times a week (no more yuckky take out..Be gone McDonalds!) .
