Notes

One: Storage

Cover and store in the fridge for 3-4 days. To freeze, place it in the freezer uncovered until solid. Then, wrap in plastic wrap and foil and freeze for up to two months. Thaw in the fridge.

Two: Chocolate Curls

Soften a large Hershey's milk chocolate candy bar for a couple of seconds in the microwave. Run a vegetable peeler along the edges to make curls.

Two: Cool Whip

Substitute the homemade whipped cream with 5 cups of Cool Whip.
