This torte was just okay. The meringue was a bit dry, and the chocolate filling was a bit too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. The meringue was difficult to make, and the chocolate filling was a bit too thick. Overall, it was a good dessert, but I don't think I'll be making it again.
