And did we say easy? Chef James Brockman has simplified the crust with pre-made cookie crumbs and reduced the filling to seven simple steps. If you want to bake it in a heart-shaped pan for Valentine's Day, be our guest! Serve with Caffe Mocha Amoroso or a cup of spicy Hot Chai.

This recipe sounds amazing! For those with health issues (i.e., Type 2 Diabetes etc.) you really should not be eating desserts anyway so it's doubtful a "recipe breakdown" would be helpful for you anyway. Perhaps try a nice piece of fruit for dessert.

To the reader with health issues--I have yours issues plus a couple others. As I read the ingredients, I mentally thought of the substitutes: sugar (use less sugar + Splenda; milk chocolate chips (dark chocolate 65-75% cocoa) butter (your substitute) cream (low-fat) serving size (shrink); skip any type of whipped cream and sprinkle more berries on top. If you are not already using these and other substitutes, you are missing out on some of our favorite foods. I would consider this a 'special occasion' food.

OMG, this sounds totally divine! I just got home from the grocery store, but am willing to go back to town to get the ingredients. My hubs is going to be one happy camper...LOL!
