Ultimate Chocolate Torte--5 Ingredients
- 2 (12 ounce) bags semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 1 14 cups butter
- 6 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 12 cup heavy cream
- Spray the bottom and sides of a 8 or 9 inch springform pan.
- Wrap in two layers of aluminum foil and set inside a 9x13 or larger baking pan, tall enough for you to add water to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
- Don't add water yet.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of semisweet chocolate chips and set aside.
- Place remaining chips and butter in double boiler OR microwave safe bowl and heat over hot water or in microwave until chips melt, stirring frequently.
- If you use the microwave, stir every 30-45 seconds to keep chocolate from scorching.
- Stir in vanilla.
- In medium bowl, beat eggs.
- Place bowl over simmering water and continue beating until they are warm, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and continue beating the eggs until they are light and tripled in volume, 4-5 minutes.
- Fold 1/4 of the eggs into the chocolate to lighten the chocolate.
- Gently fold in remaining eggs.
- Pour immediately into prepared springform pan, and add hot water to the baking pan until the water comes halfway up the side of the springform.
- Bake at 400 for 18 minutes, no longer.
- Torte will still look wet and jiggly in the middle, and that's okay.
- Allow to cool to room temperature, approximately 45 minutes.
- In small sauce pan or in microwave, heat the whipping cream just until bubbles form around the edge.
- Pour immediately over reserved chocolate chips, and let sit 3 minutes.
- Stir the cream and chocolate mixture until smooth, then pour over top of torte.
- Refrigerate 6-8 hours before removing springform ring and serving.
- Garnish with fruit or whipped cream if desired.
