No Bake Dessert| Creme au chocolat shots … fudgy, indulgent, deep chocolate creme

This is my fast track version of Crème au chocolat which translates simply into my idea of an indulgent chocolate cream! The basic recipe is quite versatile, and can be easily doubled too.

Then again, spike it with your favourite cherry liquor and serve with juicy bing cherries, or give it an espresso kick … the possibilities are endless!
