Quite Possibly the Most Delicious Dessert in the World

Quite Possibly the Most Delicious Dessert in the World

There was only one dessert we were all looking forward to eating on Thanksgiving…

The weekend before the big day, we went to PJ’s grandma’s house for their Thanksgiving dinner with that side of the family, and PJ’s cousin John brought this dessert that no one could stop talking about. It was chocolatey. It was creamy. It was mousse-y. It was everything you would want from a dessert and more, which is why we were so happy when his cousin sent us the recipe so we could make it at our Thanksgiving!

PJ made in what is normally our fruit dish that lives on our counter, but dessert is always more fun served in a glass bowl, don’t you think? He also used Ghirardelli Double Chocolate brownie mix (our go-to brownie mix) which makes all the difference!

We finished the rest of it this morning and are already planning to make it again for Christmas. However, we will say that it is very sweet. Borderline too sweet. So if you like extremely sweet desserts, this one is for you. We think next time we make it we’ll use heavy whipping cream instead of sweetened condensed milk, only because we aren’t as big into desserts that are THIS sweet. But it’s still absolutely delicious and will be making regular appearances at future dinners.
