We were on vacation last week and we went to this unique, authentic Italian restaurant where I had the best Chocolate Pate as a dessert. Oh, boy. I could not think of anything all the way home but this yummy dessert so I searched for the recipe as soon as I got home and made it for my family.

You can leave out the almond if you wish, but I think that gives a nice, crunchy twist to it.
