Two layers of dense chocolate torte with a cocoa meurange in between, covered with a ganache and topped with a chocolate mousse, sitting in a chocolate and liquor sauce. Easily shared by two people!
I hiked with Marcel Desaulniers, the chef who created this dessert, at Canyon Ranch in Tucson a few years back. He's very fit...and he doesn't fly! He drove all the way from Williamsburg to Tucson, eating M&M's the whole way.

And I share your taste for something lemon after a big meal
But if I want dark chocolate (is there really any other kind?), I go for Valrhona or Scharffenberger. Scharffenberger has these wonderful candied ginger things dipped in dark chocolate---two of my favorite tastes!
