Notes: Friends beg me to make this dessert at holiday time. It is exceedingly rich so if you take it to a pot luck be sure to slice it ahead of serving time. If you don't, folks will cut themselves huge slices and either won't be able to eat them or their cholesterol levels will spike significantly.
