HEALTHY DARK CHOCOLATE TORTE (PIE)
***Inspired by Alton Brown's Moo-less Chocolate Pie.*** Happy New Year! I am happy to present this decadent and (yes!) healthy recipe for an awesome dessert which I made for Christmas dinner 2011, not knowing what it would taste like. "Oh my!" I would never have guessed it wasn't totally sinful if I didn't already know. You rarely can go wrong w/an Alton Brown recipe, so I knew it'd be good, just not *this* good! Silken tofu: where have you been all my life?!? Note: I have made a few minor adjustments to ingredients and order of incorporation, which worked better for me, and hopefully will for you, too. Prep time includes 2 hours for chilling in the refrigerator post-assembly. (The original recipe can be found here: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/alton-browns-dairy-free-chocolate-pie)

- Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the filling sets firm.
- Serving suggestion: Top with chocolate sprinkles. Garnish with raspberry puree and fresh raspberries.
DARK CHOCOLATE GANACHE TART
This is a melt-in-your mouth, decadent chocolate ganache tart that I make for special dinner parties. It's easy and quick to make. Friends and family love it! Delicious on its own, or served with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. It's best if you use Belgian chocolate.

Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your torte. Look for a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Melt the chocolate slowly and carefully: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize and become grainy. To avoid this, melt the chocolate over low heat or in a double boiler.
- Let the torte chill completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the torte to set properly.
- Garnish the torte with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder: This will add a touch of elegance and make the torte even more delicious.
