Sunchoke Chocolate Torta Ingredients

Method

Instructions for Sunchoke Chocolate Torta

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sunchokes

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash the sunchokes thoroughly and cut them into halves or quarters if large. Roast them on a baking sheet for about 25-30 minutes until tender and golden brown. Let them cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Ganache

    In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth. Stir in the olive oil until well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sunchoke Mousse

    In a blender, combine the roasted sunchokes, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in half of the ganache to the sunchoke mixture.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Torta

    In a greased 9-inch (23cm) springform pan, pour the sunchoke mousse mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for about 25-30 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

  5. 5

    Finish with Ganache

    Once the torta has cooled, pour the remaining ganache over the top, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
