  Pour mixture into prepared pan, but be careful to keep the paper in place. Chill in refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight (I love make ahead stuff, and this dessert is perfect for that). when slab is very firm, run a knife around ends to loosen and lift out by holding ends of paper. Slice into 3/4 inch “slabs” using a long thin knife. It will be easier to slice if you have a damp cloth or paper towel handy to wipe the blade clean in between slices.

  Put each slice on a dessert plate and pour Kahlua custard sauce around it to cover plate. Grate or shave some semisweet chocolate onto the sauce and serve.
