Pour into prepared dish. Place dish in large roasting pan; fill roasting pan with hot water to about 1-inch depth. Cover roasting pan with foil. Carefully place in oven.

To serve, run a small knife around edge of the dish. Invert serving plate over dish. Turn over; shake gently to release. Garnish with fresh whipped cream or chocolate curls, if desired.
