Re: (...)
Did anybody try these from the 12/04/08 e-mail recipe. Wow they are fabulous. I made them for Easter dinner and it was a huge it. Only down side was that I couldn't find frozen black cherries for the sauce so I used canned, which I drained.
I made them ahead of time and chilled them. I put them straight into the oven from the fridge and next time I think I'll let them come to room temp before baking, but I would recommend this one. If I can do it anyone can do it and it has a great WOW factor.

Nice review and thanx for reminding me about this delicious dessert. The original recipe is in Issue 19. I've made them several times and agree they are great for entertaining because you need to make them ahead and chill them before baking. One young man dinner guest said that the cherry sauce reminded him of cough syrup... guess he has some bad memories of lots of cough syrup as a child. We liked it, but thought maybe a raspberry sauce would also go with them as well.

I'll have to try this one, I have a recipe from an old chef friend (Kelly Johnson) that I've always used. It would be fun to try another one for a change. Issue 19, off to look.

Thanks for the great review, Sally. I'm curious about this. So, is the center all liquidy?

YUM! I tried a recipe last year. They were good, but still looking. I think I'll give these a try this week. Thanks for the heads up!

Yes. Maryann, it's amazing you cut into it with a spoon or fork - I served spoons and all this yummy gooey chocolate comes out.
I also forgot to mention I cut down on the sugar in the cherry sauce. It really doesn't even need any sauce - just whipped cream would be fine.

Sounds great! As far as the sauce goes, I would think raspberry, too. More specifically, I would think a white-chocolate/raspberry sauce.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

Sally I did these too a while back and they were wonderful. I also had to use canned cherries. But boy were they sure good!

Good call on the raspberry-white chocolate sauce...what a combo that is. I have been adding it to the plating sauces with a raspberry chocolate torte at work. Anyone ever filled a molten chocolate cake with caramel? Been thinking about that idea for a while now...kind of like a Caramello bar in warm cake mode.

Sally do you have that recipe handy? I found the one from Feb 2000 magazine and want to see if they are the same.
