Sweetheart Torte |
|
Serves: 16 Print this Recipe1 1/4 cups sugar 3 2-ounce packages almonds blanched (about 1 1/2 cups total) 6 eggs white large, at room temperature 1/8 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 6 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate chopped 2 1/2 cups whipped cream 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup powdered sugar Sliced fresh strawberries Preheat oven to 250°. Grease and flour three baking sheets. With the tip of a knife, draw three separate 8-inch circles or hearts on the baking sheets. Place 1 cup of the sugar and almonds in a food processor bowl. Cover and process until nuts are finely ground; set aside. In a large mixer bowl at high speed, beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 3 tablespoons sugar and vanilla and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in sugared ground nuts. Spread one-third of the mixture in each circle on baking sheets. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until nearly dry and edges are golden. Loosen layers with a spatula and carefully transfer warm shells to wire racks to cool completely. Assemble torte immediately or store meringues in an airtight container. In a small saucepan, mix chocolate, 1/2 cup of the whipping cream, remaining 1/4 cup sugar and butter. Stirring constantly over low heat, cook until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Chill for 1 hour or until firm enough to spread. In a small mixer bowl at medium speed, beat remaining 2 cups whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. About 4 1/2 hours before serving, assemble torte. Place one meringue layer on a serving plate and spread with about 1 cup of the whipped cream. Spread half of the chocolate mixture on a second meringue layer; place, chocolate-side down, on first layer. Spread about 1 cup of the whipped cream on the top surface. Spread remaining chocolate mixture on third meringue layer; place, chocolate-side down, on cream-covered stack. Wrap assembled torte in plastic wrap and chill for 3 1/2 hours. Uncover and frost top and sides of torte with remaining whipped cream. Chill, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Garnish top with strawberries. This recipe comes from the Cook'n collection.
