Chocolate Torte.....


Over the weekend, my friend and I made this chocolate torte. It consists of chocolate sponge cake, filled with two layers of chocolate mousse and one layer of a whipped Mascarpone mousse and fresh raspberry. We covered the top with a chocolate ganache. It was superb!!
Mascarpone Mousse
4 oz. mascarpone (whipped)
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract ( or real vanilla bean)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup fresh raspberries
Whip heavy cream. set aside. whip mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla till lightened. fold together with whipped cream. place raspberries over the top of the filling.
Chocolate Ganache
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 cup heavy cream
Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Immediately pour the boiling cream over the chopped chocolate. let it sit for 1 minute. stir until all the chocolate is melted. All done
