I’m not a big dessert person.  And I’m most definitely not a baker.  So the “no bake” option was what attracted me to this beauty.  Once I read over the recipe it seemed easy enough so I figured why not give it a shot?

I did make a few tweaks just to accommodate my personal taste.

For example:

  • Since I’m not a baker, I don’t have a spring form pan so I cheated and used a graham cracker pie crust that I bought at the grocery store (thank you Keebler elves).
  • For the ganache, I used Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet because I’m a milk chocolate girl.
  • Instead of chopping up hazelnuts for the top of the cake, I chopped up macadamia nuts because I thought it would be a nice twist.  And I like macadamia nuts better than hazelnuts, anyway.

Overall, I was really pleased with the results and will probably be making it again at some point in time.
