The ginger in this dish gives it 
a somewhat...Oriental taste, but 
still keeps the essence of the chocolate. 

Makes a very good dessert.

O.K., not great.

A Cook from Chelmsford, MA on 02/10/00
I made this in a heart-shaped pan and it made 
the perfect no-guilt dessert, along with some 
vanilla frozen yogurt of course.
