death by chocolate
Intensely cocoa-rich treat
Death by chocolate describes desserts so intensely chocolatey they seem dangerously indulgent—typically layered cakes, brownies, or sundaes combining multiple forms of chocolate: The menu's death by chocolate features fudge cake with ganache and chocolate mousse.
The phrase plays on the idea that such richness might be fatal, though the death would presumably be welcome.
