Toblerone Charlotte
- 3/4 pound plain chocolate loaf cake, chilled
- 3 3-ounce Toblerone milk chocolate bars, broken up
- 3 eggs, separated
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 3-ounce Toblerone bittersweet chocolate bar, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons confectioner's sugar
- Line the bottom of an eight-inch springform pan with waxed paper or parchment paper.
- Cut the cake into 16 thin slices.
- Cut eight of the cake slices in half diagonally and line the bottom of the pan with half of them, fitting them in tightly.
- Cut the rest of the cake slices in half to make rectangles and use them to line the sides of the pan, overlapping them slightly.
- Refrigerate.
- Put the milk chocolate in the top of a double boiler and heat over simmering water until the chocolate melts.
- It will not be smooth.
- Beat the egg yolks until light, then stir into the chocolate.
- Continue heating a few minutes longer.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a large metal bowl.
- Beat the egg whites until softly peaked.
- Heat the honey to a simmer in a small nonstick pan and slowly drizzle it into the egg whites, while beating until they are stiff.
- Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture and chill at least an hour.
- Whip the cream and fold it into the chilled chocolate mixture along with the almond extract and chopped bittersweet Toblerone.
- Cover the top with the remaining cake triangles.
- Cover with foil or plastic wrap and chill four hours or longer.
- To serve, run a knife around the inside of the pan.
- Remove the sides of the pan and invert the dessert onto a serving dish.
- Carefully lift off the bottom of the pan, now on top, first running a thin knife between the paper and the metal.
- Peel off the paper.
- Dust the top with sifted confectioner's sugar and serve.
