Chocolate Box Cake With Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 sq. semi-sweet chocolate (may substitute morsels, 6 oz. pkg.)
1 Tbsp. shortening
2 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
4 Tbsp. butter
1 1/2 c. confectioners sugar
1/3 c. cocoa
2 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. heavy or whipping cream
strawberries (optional)

Preparation

Line 9 x 9-inch square pan with foil; press out wrinkles so chocolate box will come off foil easily.
In heavy saucepan over low heat, melt semi-sweet chocolate squares with shortening until melted and smooth, stirring frequently.
Pour melted chocolate into foil lined pan, swirl around covering sides and bottom of pan, keeping edges as even as possible.
Refrigerate 1 minute, then swirl chocolate mixture around inside of pan a second time to reinforce sides of chocolate box.
Refrigerate while making filling.
