Review:
This was very good but a bit strong on the chocolate. I used the glaze too and of course that made it more so. I will certainly make it again, but will probably use only 1 tsp of coffee and maybe a little less cocoa powder. Also maybe top with a dollop of whipped topping. I also used Splenda for the sweetener. Thanks!
