Originally uploaded by chefrb The way my mom always made it: with a made-from scratch biscuit-type cake (my secret ingredient is a dash of nutmeg–yummy!), fresh-picked strawberries, and vanilla ice cream on top. Very simple, and simply tasty! Originally uploaded by chefrb I like to pour a glaze of chocolate ganache over my torte and pipe a ganache border around the bottom. This time, I also added fresh raspberries from my garden for garnish. You could also simply dust the torte lightly with powdered sugar for a much easier presentation. Originally uploaded by chefrb Note that the cake has formed a slight crust on the top and has pulled away from the sides of the pan. The best way to tell if it is done is to use a thermometer, though. It should be at 140 degrees. flourless chocolate torte recipe

Originally uploaded by chefrb flourless chocolate torte recipe I visited a fabulous local pastry shop: http://www.pistaciavera.com/. The Pastry Chef, Spencer Budros, gave me a kitchen tour. . . Nice! At a Chicago diner having a $5 shake. Thought that was supposed to be milk & ice cream, but there’s ICE in it-yuk. Picked 20 lbs. of the most delicious strawberries yesterday, then made my mom’s recipe for strawberry shortcake. I LOVE Summer rituals! |
