This is really reall good!! Made this last night, exactly as written (well, I made my own crust, couldn't find a ready made one). It is sort of like a chocolate pudding pie in texture but with the cheesecake taste. The nice thing about it was that it has a great chocolate flavor, but it's not too rich! I can see this definitely becoming a regular here! thanks

This is pretty good. For the crust, I sprinkled chocolate cake crumbs over the bottom of a 9 inch glass pie pan. I used splenda instead of sugar, and added 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon almond extract. I only used about 2 1/2 teaspoons of gelatin as that's all that was in a packet, and I didn't want to open another one. Next time I may reduce it to 2 teaspoons, as the pie seemed almost too firm. Thanks for the great recipe!

I am a Chinese teenage girl who is a beginner in cooking...especially desserts. I have a really sweet tooth, and it is of course not surprising that I am a chocoholic...I cannot live a day without munching on at least one piece of chocolate!
(By the way, the combination of hazelnut praline and dark chocolate is my favourite...how about you?)
To compensate my passion for chocolate and desserts as a weight watcher, I would turn to low fat main meal ideas. (Actually the fat and sugar content of most desserts are scary enough...but as long as I am "ignorant" of the ingredients, who cares?)
I know I definitely would be enjoying my time on Zaar, with all your recipe ideas and generous help to my cooking queries...
Thanks for those who offer me help!
