I'm not sure when this recipe was discovered in my family - I think my mom found it at some point - but once it was found, it's been tried, adapted with different flavorings and served at several dinners for dessert by each one of us. When my sister, Lauren, makes it, it's a bit more boozy so you feel slightly lightheaded by the time you're done. My mom gives it just the most subtle flavor of the rum so you can barely tell it's there. And then there's me, making it with the original rum and then also testing it out with amaretto and whipped cream vodka. It's easy enough to be able to throw it together in about 5 minutes but rich and sophisticated enough to make your guests think you spent quite a bit of time making it.
I think it's best garnished with strawberries, but a bit of whipped cream is fine if you don't have any. Other fresh berries would be awesome, too. We use little tea cups, and I'm always tempted to fill each cup all the way, but a little goes a long way with this dessert - half way is plenty. This is definitely a very rich dessert. But for those chocolate lovers, you may want a bit more!
