Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 2/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips (16 ounces), divided
1 cup (2 sticks) salted margarine, divided
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder or instant coffee powder
5 large eggs
1 cup sugar
Spiked Blackberry Coulis
Fresh mint sprigs
Fresh blackberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush 9-inch-diameter springform pan with margarine; line bottom with parchment. Stir 1 2/3 cups chocolate chips and 3/4 cup margarine in medium saucepan over low heat until smooth. Whisk in cocoa and espresso. Cool 10 minutes.
  • Using electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar in large bowl on high speed until thick, about 6 minutes. Fold in chocolate mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake torte until dry and cracked on top and tester inserted into center comes out with some moist batter attached, about 42 minutes. Cool in pan on rack 1 hour (center will fall). Using spatula, press raised edges so top is level. Cut around pan sides; remove sides. Place plate atop torte and invert onto plate. Remove pan bottom; peel off paper, and cool torte completely.
  • Stir remaining 1 cup (6 ounces) chocolate and 1/4 cup margarine in small saucepan over low heat until smooth (do not overheat). Whisk in 2 tablespoons blackberry coulis. Cool glaze 15 minutes. Pour glaze into center of torte. Smooth top with spatula, allowing some of glaze to drip down sides. Refrigerate uncovered until glaze is set, about 1 hour. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
  • Cut torte into wedges; spoon coulis alongside. Garnish with mint and berries, if desired.

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1-pound bag frozen unsweetened blackberries, thawed
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons semidry white wine (such as Chenin Blanc)
6 tablespoons (about) sugar, divided
3 whole cloves
2 Turkish bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon brandy

Steps:

  • Place berries, wine and 4 tablespoons sugar in blender; puree. Pour into medium saucepan. Add cloves, bay leaves, and allspice. Bring to simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 8 minutes.
  • Strain into medium bowl. Discard solids in strainer. Whisk in brandy; sweeten with remaining sugar, if desired. (Can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill. Rewhisk before using.)

Tips:

  • Choose the ripest, juiciest blackberries you can find for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a food mill, you can use a blender to puree the blackberries. Just be sure to strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds.
  • You can use any type of sparkling wine you like in this recipe. However, a brut or extra brut sparkling wine will give the coulis a more tart flavor, while a sweeter sparkling wine will make it more syrupy.
  • If you want a thicker coulis, you can simmer it over low heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
  • This coulis can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or yogurt. It can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, or crepes.
