Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of German sweet chocolate. If you want to reduce sugar, use a sugar substitute that measures like sugar. Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract for extra depth. For a gluten-free option, serve it in a gluten-free crust or in individual cups.
