STRAWBERRY HAZELNUT TORTE
"This beautiful dessert is a very big hit at parties," relates Phyllis Amboss of Pacific Palisades, California. "The tender meringues have a wonderful hazelnut flavor with layers of chocolate, whipped cream and berries. "I got the recipe when we were in Israel for a few months in 1979. I had no cookbooks with me, and my hairdresser gave me an old Australian cookbook with this recipe in it. I made a few changes and this is the result."

[email protected]This torte was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The crust was flaky and the filling was creamy and flavorful. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling if you don't like your desserts too sweet.
