Here's one of my favorite chocolate dessert recipes.  Bryn is making it today for the independence day party.

Semi-Sweet Ganache Torte

15 chocolate graham crackers
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup butter (not margarine), melted
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup fat-free half & half
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pint your favorite berries (raspberries wonderful, frozen are OK)

Blend graham crackers and sugar in a blender.  Pulse for 2 minutes.  Blend in 1/4 cup of the melted butter.  Press mixture into tart pan. Freeze for 20 minutes.  Then turn out crust onto a plate.

In a separate bowl combine chips and the remaining 1/4 cup butter.  In a saucepan, add the cinnamon to the half & half.  Bring to a boil.  Then pour the half & half over the chips and butter.  Let stand 1 minute then stir.  Pour onto the graham cracker crust.

Cover with berries.  Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.  Enjoy!
