Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 75 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 250 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Cherry preserves
- 100 grams Fresh cherries, pitted (optional, for garnish)
- 20 grams Shaved chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and blend into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a sealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Pour the melted unsalted butter into the cookie crumbs and mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan with a removable base to form the crust. Place the pan in the freezer to chill while preparing the filling.
In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the chopped dark chocolate until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, lightly heat the heavy cream until just warm to the touch (do not boil), then stir it into the melted chocolate. Add the vanilla extract and mix until the filling is smooth and glossy.
Remove the crust from the freezer and spread the cherry preserves evenly over the bottom of the crust.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the cherry layer, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Refrigerate the torte for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, garnish with fresh pitted cherries and shaved chocolate, if desired.
Slice and serve the torte chilled. Enjoy!
