This easy yet elegant recipe is from Food & Wine magazine. I sometimes add 1/2 c of natural coconut flakes to add another dimension.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups chilled heavy cream
  • One 10-ounce jar bittersweet chocolate sauce (1 1/4 cups)
  • One 9-ounce package chocolate wafers
  • Shaved bittersweet chocolate, for garnish

Directions
  1. Beat heavy cream with the chocolate sauce at medium speed until firm peaks form.
  2. Put some saran wrap in a loaf pan with edges hanging out.
  3. Spread about 1/2 cup of the whipped chocolate cream on a long rectangular platter, to form a rectangle.
  4. Using a small offset spatula, spread 1 tablespoon of the remaining chocolate cream on 35 chocolate wafers and arrange them in 5 stacks.
  5. Top each stack with a chocolate wafer (you will have 6 or 7 wafers left over).
  6. Arrange the wafer stacks on their sides as close together as possible on the chocolate cream on the platter.
  7. Spread all but about 1/2 cup of the remaining chocolate cream all over the cake, fixing any wafers that tilt or slide.
  8. Press a long sheet of plastic wrap over the cake, flattening the top and sides gently.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or for up to 2 days.
  10. Refrigerate the remaining chocolate cream.
  11. Remove the saran wrap and frost the cake with the remaining chocolate cream.
  12. Garnish with the chocolate shavings.
