Is this like what you remember?

Another from Nopardons:

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE LOAF:

2 packages (in 8 oz. squares each ) Baker’s semi-sweet chocolate

1 stick butter

1/4 cup milk

2 eggs slightly beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tub ( 8 ounces ) THAWED Cool Whip

Heat 15 squares of the chocolate, butter, and milk in a large pan, on LOW heat, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth; constantly stirring.
Slowly whisk in the beaten eggs for 1 minute, constantly stirring.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.

Refrigerate for about 20 minutes, or until just cool, stirring occasionally. Gently stir in 23/4 Cups of the thawed COOL WHIP.

Line an 8X4 loaf pan with Saran Wrap ( or any other cling
wrap ) and pour in the mixture. Refrigerate for 6 hours of overnight.

Invert pan onto a plate, remove the plastic wrap, garnish with chocolate curls, chocolate leave, or melted chocolate.
Serves 16

I never had the patience nor inclination to arrange my strawberries so neatly. I just cram as many into the pie shell as I can, so there’s more fruit and less jello.

The extra I pour into a bowl and chill it. Even without the pie crust, it still tastes great.

Whipped cream makes it perfect.

We're celebrating my mom's 90th birthday this weekend. Instead of a cake - she thinks they're all too sweet - I'm making a Key Lime Cheesecake using the recipe from:

Sugar Spun Run Key Lime Cheesecake

The neat thing about this version is you make a key lime curd with the juice, egg yokes and butter and cool it to room temperature before adding it to the cream cheese mixture. This method ensures a creamy and smooth consistency with plenty of tanginess that you wouldn't be able to get by just adding lime juice instead of vanilla. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

PLUS!!! I found real key limes at the Fresh Market today. YAY. I bought two bags so I'd be sure to have enough for the recipe.

This is an easy dessert to make, but not low calorie.
Cut the pie when it is partially defrosted, as it is easier to do. Pie should be totally defrosted when trifle is served.

The Peach Caprese salad that showed up on that same page looks very good, too:
