Once the chocolate shavings are on the dessert, you are finished! Use a spatula to serve the dessert. The spatula will probably smear some of the layers together on the outside, but you should be able to tell there are three layers plus the crust. Once you have made this dessert once, the preparation time is a little faster. The total time will not change much due to the time needed to refrigerate the pudding. Just remember, once you make this and take it to a party, every one will expect you to bring it to every get together.
