Cho-co-lat! Hello best dessert for entertaining ever!!!!
So when you are having a dinner party and you want to make a dessert ahead of time, make this!!! It’s so good and in a martini glass, it looks so fancy!!!
The initial recipe does not call for Chili powder but I added some to give it a little kick and it was really awesome!! Ask your guests to guess what is that “special” flavor, they will never get it!
Anyways, this is a great recipe because you can actually sit down with your friends/family and relax and when it’s time for dessert, you just pop them out of the fridge and serve them cold!
