The Layers

• The Brownie - The brownie layer is not just fudgy, but also inexplicably silky in texture. It literally melts in your mouth! It's also studded with crunchy walnuts for extra texture.
• The Custard - A fancy word for a decadent, creamy, and homemade chocolate pudding.
• The Whipped Cream - The homemade whipped cream on top provides some lightness to break up the rich chocolate. It is light in both fluffy texture and mild, creamy flavor.
• The Toppings - Top with chocolate sauce, chopped walnuts, mini chocolate chips, or chocolate shavings for a pretty and tasty garnish.
