If you are trying to do something unique for your loved ones on special occasions, this recipe is just the right choice because this dessert is excellent in all ways; taste, appearance, presentation and is very easy to do. It is something like fudge; the only difference is it is a lot softer, the taste is great, and the sweet flavor of chocolate is enhanced by the tart tang of the cranberry coulis. You may also use raspberry for this recipe if you find cranberry a bit harsh for a flavor.
