Next comes a layer of hot fudge sauce and a final layer of freshly whipped cream; garnish with chopped Andes Chocolate Candy.
It’s always fun to serve delicious desserts on pretty dessert plates. I borrowed pretty vintage dessert plates from my mother. I think the green color in the glass plates goes splendidly with the colors of this dessert!
