2/14/2012This recipe is excellent, but not quite as written. The topping, as written, comes out rocky rather than smooth and pillowy. I found that it required either more cream, or less mascarpone than indicated and a bit more sugar. Mix the sugar together with the other ingredients, whip the cream separately, and fold together. It comes out beautifully.

11/1/2010This was amazingly easy and very rich. I used 1/2 bittersweet chocolate and 1/2 milk chocolate as I like a bit of a sweeter chocolate. Also on the whipped topping I added a 1/2 Tbs more sugar because I need more cavities. It came out amazing and so easy! I used a bought graham cracker crust, it could have been a regular pie crust both would be fine. My whipped topping came out great not sure why others had a problem. Going to make this again soon because I accidentally bought too much mascarpone ! It was very very rich and quite good. Reminded me of a french silk pie.

3/28/2008This tasted excellent even though I completely failed to create a smooth mascarpone topping; my topping was curdled in appearance. After reading a "cooking gone wrong" website, I believe that the mascarpone was not quite at room temperature. I also think the "fat" that was added, in this case the whipping cream, should have also been at room temperature. My whipping cream came straight from the fridge and was very cold. However, the dessert was still a big hit!

11/15/2007This is a show stopper and it is easy to make. Everytime I've served it, everyone loved it. I can't always get the Nabisco chocolate wafers so sometimes I have to make it with a graham cracker crust and it is still good but with the chocolate wafers it is outstanding. Use the best chocolate you can find. This recipe deserves it.
