Method

For the Flourless Chocolate Torte

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Melt chocolate and butter

    In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until melted and smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine sugar and eggs

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.

  4. 4

    Mix in chocolate

    Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, stirring constantly until well blended.

  5. 5

    Add vanilla extract

    Stir in the vanilla extract until incorporated.

  6. 6

    Bake the torte

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly soft.

  7. 7

    Cool and dust

    Remove from the oven and let the torte cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully invert onto a serving plate, remove the parchment paper, and dust with cocoa powder.

For the Strawberry Puree

  1. 8

    Prepare strawberries

    Wash the fresh strawberries, remove the stems, and cut them in half.

  2. 9

    Blend ingredients

    In a blender, combine the halved strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and adjust the sweetness as needed.

For Serving

  1. 10

    Serve the torte

    Slice the flourless chocolate torte into wedges and place each slice on a plate.

  2. 11

    Add strawberry puree

    Drizzle the strawberry puree around the torte on the plate.

  3. 12

    Add ice cream

    Place two scoops of your choice of ice cream next to the torte on each plate.

  4. 13

    Garnish

    Garnish with fresh fruit, such as berries or mint, for a beautiful presentation.
