Chef’s Tip: Work fast when folding the whipped cream into the cheese and pudding mixture as it tends to set quickly.
Time Saver: "If you’re in a pinch, use Cool Whip – and take it out of the freezer as soon as you get home, so you don’t need to defrost."
Elevate Dessert: Individual servings are a nice touch and take little or no extra effort.

This one is fabulous!!!! I made it for this evening using rapberries in place of the strawberries as I love them with the bittersweet chocolate. This is almost sinful, it is so decadent!!!
Will use this recipe often with both fruits.
