Happy Birthday Hubby

Dairy free, wheat free, corn free, rice free, nut free YUMMY dessert!
French Silk
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 cup coconut oil
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs

Melt chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave, it takes about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, cool. In a kitchen Aid with the whisk beater, cream together sugar and coconut oil, drizzle cooled, melted chocolate into sugar mixture, add one egg and beat on high for 5 minutes, add one more egg and beat on high for 5 minutes, add one more egg and beat on high for 5 minutes, add the last egg and beat on high for 5 more minutes. It is okay to stop and scrape the bowl. Pour into a glass serving dish and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight. You can make this into a mousse type dessert by leaving it in the bowl, refrigerate it for an hour and then whisking it up again. It is yummy with fresh blueberries. I've also put it in a pastry bag and decorated with it like icing. I've doubled the portions, it works fine with 1 1/2 ounces chocolate, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 3/4 cups sugar and 2 eggs. It is so yummy that there are no leftovers with only a single recipe.

Our family doesn't miss the crust or the butter or vanilla that the original recipe had in it.
