  3. Beat whipping cream in small bowl until stiff. Gradually add chocolate mixture, folding gently just until blended. Cover; refrigerate until ready to use. Makes about 3 cups (750 mL) filling.

* Cake may be prepared up to two days in advance. Keep cake rolled tightly and covered well so that it doesn't get dry.
