Was wonderful even if I didn't follow the recipe exactly, had dough in the freezer so baked that. I didn't have Cool Whip or cream so mixed cream cheese, sugar and milk, spread in baked crust then I had chocolate mousse in the frig. and put that on top of the cheese. Next made the chokecherry with arrowroot, chilled and poured on top when thickened. It sat overnight before trying. Wonderful flavors and will enjoy each piece over the next few days.
