Totally agree "JAPAMA".............I also had Carnival's Chocolate Melting Cake every night for dessert!!!  Thank goodness this recipe is a lot healthier as I NEED to make another batch of this yummy recipe again!  Did you try it with DARK Chocolate??  Yummy!

Oh, I would have to agree that this is just about as good as Carnival's Warm Chocolate Melting Cake! Had it almost every night as a desert!!! Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream as they did and you have a wonderful desert or any time "comfort" food for those who love chocolate, as I do.

I have not yet made it, but will. This is a rate of reviews. This is the fourth recipe today where I read the reviews. People who have no intention of making those recipes are writing to criticize. Either it has an ingredient they don't like or an ingredient they, themselves, cannot eat. Why not just write the recipe off instead of criticizing the recipe, the submitter, the editor, or the nutritionist, without first-hand facts or knowledge.

What a great little dessert! I made only a half recipe and it turned out wonderfully. My daughter asked if we could have this every night for dessert! That seems to say it all!

I would like to comment on the question about this being good for diabetics because of the amount of sugar. The way our Doctor explained to me that it is total calories and whether it is a fast spike in sugar. When you divide the sugar by 10 servings that isn't very much per serving and in my opinion better for you than the chemicals of most artificial sweeteners.

To betsydave.....from grannyoffive

Not sure how it would be without the coffee but I didn't taste the coffee at all and I think coffee brings out more of the chocolate flavor.......if you have instant coffe you could make a little and use that......

Delicious - way better than expected. Used half sugar and half Splenda - great results and also used dark chocolate chips....next time I will cut the total sugar down to 1 cup and try cooking for 17 - 19 minutes. I cooked it 20 minutes and it was delicious but I think a little less cooking time would be great too (of course depending on your oven) The taste was up there with Carnival's Warm Chocolate Melting cake but your version was much, much healthier and just as mouth watering!!! Thanks for a great recipe!

I am looking forward to trying this. With 29 gm of carbs per serving...it is most definitely an acceptable dessert for diabetics! They need to count carbs....not stop eating all things tasty! My husband is diabetic...with well controlled BS....and I will have no problem giving this to him.

We loved it. It was just the right amount of chocolate to keep you wanting more. I served it warm from the oven and could not have wanted anything better for desert.

I hate to spoil everybody's fun but just because there is only 131 calories per serving, that doesn't make this dessert "healthy". Delicious? yes! Make it again? yes. But it gets put in the "special occasion" recipe section.
