If you're looking for a dessert that's dressed to impress, the Chocolate Flourless Torte is up for the job. It's dark, rich, and decadent, and comes together with only 6 hardworking pantry ingredients—eggs, sugar, butter, cream, chocolate, and vanilla. Just add the silky-smooth chocolate ganache topping and a handful of fresh raspberries for a dessert that is perfect in its simplicity.

Keep Screen Awake

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped

  • 1 cup salted butter, cut up

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 4 eggs

  • 2 tsp. vanilla

  • 1 recipe Ganache Topping (below)

  • Raspberries and/or unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom and side of an 8- or 9-inch springform pan. Line a baking sheet with foil; place springform pan on prepared baking sheet.

  2. In a large heavy saucepan combine chocolate, butter, sugar, and cream. Cook and stir over medium-low until chocolate and butter are melted. Remove from heat.

  3. In a bowl whisk together eggs and vanilla. Gradually stir about half of the hot chocolate mixture into egg mixture; return to remaining hot mixture in saucepan. Spread batter into prepared springform pan.

  4. Bake until a 2 1/2-inch area around edge appears set when gently shaken, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack 1 hour. Cover and chill until firm, 3 hours. Using a knife, loosen torte from pan; remove side of pan. If you like, top with Ganache Topping and raspberries and sprinkle with cocoa powder. 

Ganache Topping

In a medium bowl microwave 1/2 cup heavy cream until very hot, 30 to 60 seconds. Add 4 oz. chopped bittersweet chocolate (do not stir). Let stand 5 minutes. Stir until smooth.
