Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces flour tortillas (large, 8-10 inch)
- 300 grams dark chocolate (minimum 60% cocoa, chopped)
- 240 ml heavy cream
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 30 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 40 grams chopped toasted nuts (optional, for garnish)
- 20 grams shaved chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and bake them for 5-7 minutes until lightly crisp. Remove and let cool completely.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped dark chocolate, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and fully melted into a ganache. Remove from heat.
Stir the powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the ganache and let it cool slightly.
Place one tortilla onto your serving plate or cake board. Spread a thin, even layer of ganache over the tortilla using an offset spatula (approximately 2-3 tablespoons per layer).
Repeat the process, layering tortillas and ganache, until all tortillas are used. Finish with a thicker layer of ganache on top.
Optional: Sprinkle the top of the torte with chopped toasted nuts and shaved chocolate for garnish.
Refrigerate the torte for at least 2 hours to allow the ganache to set and the layers to meld together.
Before serving, let the torte sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly.
Slice into wedges and serve. Enjoy your Chocolate Tortilla Torte!
