Chocolate Torte No Baking Recipes

Steps:

• Slice pound cake lengthwise into three layers and set aside. In a large bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and cocoa; beat until stiff peaks form. Stir in extract. , Place one layer of cake on a serving platter; top with 1 cup of the frosting. Repeat layers. Frost top and sides with remaining frosting. Garnish with almonds if desired. Chill at least 15 minutes. Refrigerate any leftovers.,

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter the bottom and side of a 9-inch springform pan. Combine the chocolate and 1 1/2 sticks butter in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and stir until melted and combined. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and let cool slightly.
• Combine the eggs, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and thick, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Gently fold half of the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined, then gently fold in the rest. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the top is no longer shiny and barely jiggles and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan. Remove the springform ring and transfer to a platter; dust with cocoa powder.

Steps:

• Crush the biscuits by putting them in a large, strong, plastic food bag and bashing with a rolling pin. Melt the butter with the syrup or honey in the microwave, then stir in the biscuits. Press onto the base and up the sides of a 12 x 36cm rectangular tin (or 23-25cm round flan tin) and chill while you make the filling.
• Break up the two chocolate bars and put in a large bowl. Melt in the microwave for 2-3 mins on Medium, stirring halfway through. Stir in the vanilla extract, then sift in the icing sugar. Whip the cream until it just holds its shape, then fold into the melted chocolate. Pour into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Chill for at least 2 hrs or for up to 2 days.
• Just before serving, remove the tart from the tin and slide it onto a flat plate (loosen edges first with the tip of a small pointed knife). You will find it easier to remove the tart if you leave it at room temperature for 30 mins. Put a few tsps of crème fraîche along the centre of the tart (or around the edges if the tart is circular) and top each with a raspberry, then dust lightly with icing sugar. Cut into thin slices and serve with extra raspberries on the side.

Steps:

• 1. Lightly coat an 8x3-in. spring form pan with non stick spray. Slice each cake into seven 1/4 inch rounds. Arrange 2 rows around side of pan. Fit remaining slices to cover bottom of pan.
• 2. Beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl, beat with mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Prepare both boxes as directed on packages, using only one cup of cold water total instead of milk.
• 3. Fold 1/4 cup of the mouse into the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain. Fold in remaining mouse until blended. Spoon into the lined pan. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or over night. To serve, remove pan sides. If you desire, top off slices with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Prepare a 7x7 dish by lining it with greaseproof paper for easy removal of the torte once cold.
• Measure out the butter and chocolate and chop up ready for adding later.
• Put the cream, sugar and salt in a pan and bring slowly to near boiling stirring constantly. You should see small bubbles at the edges of the pan.
• Add the butter and chocolate and stir well until melted. Then add any other flavourings if desired (eg ginger etc) (optional).
• Pour into prepared dish and chill in fridge overnight or until set (at least 7 hours I'd guess).
• When set torte can be turned carefully onto serving dish where it will sit firm and not ooze. You can then decorate with cream / fruit / drizzled white chocolate (optional).
