This looks like a million bucks and tastes just as rich. The only thing this decadent, smooth chocolate-and-cream-cheese cake skimps on is the time it takes to make it.

I have not made this yet, but am sure it will be delicious. I have been looking for a similiar recipe to mock the "Tuxcedo Mouse" dessert that I buy at COSCO. I will add a thin layer of wacky chocolate cake on bottom and on top of it, then cover with the choc topping. I can almost taste it just typing this out. Thank you so much ! ! !

I made this and it was DELICIOUS!!! None of it went to waste but I am a bit embarrassed to say most went to my waist!! It's a LOT easier to make than it looks!

Is easy to make and absolutely delicious. I get asked to bring it to all our parties. It was a little too rich for us so I substited the semi-sweet chocolate with 1 cup of milk chocolate chips and added about 10 crushed oreos to the bottom layer to help with the texture. When it was all set and done I garnished it with crushed oreos and it looked beautiful. Definitely is a keeper!

Very rich dessert; you can only eat a very small amount at one time. Easy enough to make but not the easiest - The saran wrap was my worst nightmare. Definitely a crowd pleaser! :)

Instead of one big cake I made little mini ones in a mini-muffin tin. Huge hit.
