About

This is a luxurious and delicious surprise pudding for a dinner party. It looks like a creamily iced cake flecked with hazelnuts but when you cut into it there is a rich fluffy chocolate mousse inside all on a crunchy biscuit base. You can prepare it well in advance. This amount will probably feed more than six people but I think you will find it gets finished up fairly quickly.
