Black Forest Pate

by Editorial Staff

Black Forest pate – an unusual and delicious dessert! He’s like a hybrid of Black Forest cake and cheesecake. Also, nothing needs to be baked other than the crumb biscuit that covers the top and sides, but … this is my recipe change where the “pate” was decorated with a chocolate chip cookie.
