As the big 3-0 approached, I found myself craving the taste of the rich chocolate birthday cakes I enjoyed in my youth. The only problem was that all of the chocolate cake recipes I had in my arsenal contained gluten. Not one to be deterred by my gluten-free lifestyle, I set out on a quest to find an easy and delicious alternative to the chocolate cake recipes I remember from my childhood.
Eleven years ago I visited France for the first time and experienced THE BEST MEAL OF MY LIFE in Albi. The five course delight was capped off by a thick, rich chocolate dessert that I was unable to identify or duplicate for years. The dish was not quite a mousse, not quite a solid fudge…it wasn’t quite anything discernible. I searched high and low for a decade for anything that came even close to my mystery dessert and finally stumbled upon it by mistake one glorious day when my mint chocolate mousse hardened.
