Sacher-Torte

There is perhaps nothing more elegant than a Sachertorte. During a visit to Vienna, I tried the original Sacher Torte at Café Sacher. It was so delicious that I had to bake it myself straightaway. I think this version is it pretty close.

Recipe by:
mimichette
I had some chocolate dessert cups and decided to fill them with a little bit of raspberry coulis. I added a few leaves of fresh mint from my garden. Sheer bliss!! I love the aftertaste of the fresh mint. Chocolate dessert cups are available in specialty shops and online. They're nice to have in the house for impromptu puds like this!

Tangerine chocolate ganache tart
I created this recipe as a blend of different chocolate tart and chocolate ganache recipes that I found in various places.

Chocolate olive oil fondants
I made these dairy free chocolate fondants for Valentine's Day. My husband loved it! The result is spectacularly similar to a regular chocolate fondant made with butter, except the olive oil makes it a little healthier, dairy free and uniquely rich. Enjoy these dusted with icing sugar and garnished with fresh berries.
