Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
10 oz semisweet chocolate, coarsley chopped or u
3/4 C strong brewed coffee
1 1/4 C sugar
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
5 eggs
1 oz dark rum or coffee liqueur (optional)
2 pints heavy (whipping) cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 5 1/2" x 9" loaf pan. In double
boiler, melt together chocolate, coffee & sugar over low heat. Set aside to
cool for 10 minutes. Turn
mixture into a medium bowl, and with an electric mixer, add butter until
incorporated. Add eggs one at a time. Add rum now, if using it.
Pour mixture into the loaf pan; bake 1 hour until the mixture is puffed &
cracked. Cool to room temp on a rack, then refrigerate overnight.

To serve:In a bowl, whip the cream until it holds stiff peaks. Use an ice
cream scoop & shape the chocolate into balls. Fit a pastry bag with a star
tip & pipe each boule with a coating of whipped cream.

**************LAZY WAY TO SERVE************************************
Skip the whipping cream. Buy the aerosol stuff or the tub. Have everyone
scoop out what they want & squirt the whipped stuff on. Tastes every bit as
good if you aren't worried about presentation.
