HEALTHIER FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE TORTE image

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup matzo meal
1/3 cup walnuts
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup grated peeled apple, preferably Delicious
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
8 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine matzo meal and walnuts in a food processor; process until nuts are finely chopped. Spread on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool. Whisk eggs, 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until blended. Stir in the matzo mixture, apple, cocoa and chocolate. Beat egg whites and salt in large, clean bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy. Increase speed to high and beat until soft peaks form. Add remaining 1/2 cup sugar 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating until glossy and stiff peaks form. Stir one-quarter of the beaten whites into the batter. Gently fold in remaining whites with a rubber spatula. Scrape the batter into an ungreased 9-inch springform pan, spreading evenly. Tap pan lightly on counter to release air bubbles. Bake torte until top springs back when touched lightly and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. With a knife, loosen edges of torte. Let cool in pan on a wire rack. (Torte will sink in center.) Remove pan sides and place torte on a serving platter. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

This torte is divine! It's the perfect combination of rich and decadent, yet still light and airy. I love that it's flourless, because it makes it a great option for people with gluten sensitivities.

I was disappointed with this torte. It was too dense and dry for my taste. I think I would prefer a flourless chocolate cake that is a little lighter and moister.

This torte is amazing! It's so rich and chocolatey, and the texture is perfect. I'm not a huge fan of flourless chocolate cakes, but this one is definitely an exception. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made this torte several times, and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make, and it always turns out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little bit more sugar, because I like my chocolate desserts on the sweeter side.
