Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

At 16 servings, this easy-to-make torte is a great choice to serve the crowd at your next special-occasion gathering.

How to Make Chocolate Curls

Warm chocolate by microwaving it, unwrapped, on HIGH for a few seconds or just until you can smudge the chocolate with your thumb. Hold the chocolate steadily and draw a vegetable peeler slowly over flat bottom of chocolate, allowing a thin layer of chocolate to curl as it is peeled off the bottom to make long, delicate curls. Or to make shorter curls, use the same technique using the narrow side of the chocolate.

How to Soften Cream Cheese

Place completely unwrapped package of cream cheese in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 10 sec. or just until softened. Add 15 sec. for each additional package of cream cheese.

This is very good. Definitely making again. Would recommend the fruit, (strawberries were my favorite) it cuts through the sweetness. Can't wait to make it again.

Made a 9" round for our family Valentine's desert, two smaller 6" heart shaped deserts for our neighbors. Lovely presentation and delicious flavors. Like the idea of melting chocolate and mixing into the pudding! Will make again, it was a hit with everyone!

Being a nut-lover, I added 1/2 to 1 cup of chopped pecans to the chocolate mixture. To the Cool Whip topping I mixed an 8 oz. can of crushed pineapple with juice squeezed out. It won raves from many people. Very refreshing.

After I started making this recipe for Christmas, I realized I was out of vanilla wafers. I just used graham crackers for the bottom crust (put on the top) and I did not put any around the edge; it looked and tasted wonderful and everyone raved over it! Very easy to make and great that you have to make it ahead of time - I did it the day before serving it. A great recipe!

I made this yesterday for co-workers...it was a total hit! Relatively easy to make and totally yummy! The only difficult part was getting the vanilla wafers to stay standing up in the cake pan before pouring in the mousse. I had spread it around a section at a time until I worked my way around the pan, standing up a few cookies each time then spreading the mousse up to it. Outside of that, it was pretty easy. Definitely will make again!
