Not sure where this one came from, but it's a nice, colorful appetizer - and delicious, too! Servings are approximate, cooking time is refrigeration time.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I loved this torte. The vanilla filling and whipped cream topping balanced out the chocolate perfectly.

The filling is smooth and creamy, and the whipped cream topping adds a touch of lightness.

The cookie crust is the perfect base for this torte. It's sturdy enough to hold up to the filling, but it's also not too thick.
