If you are a regular reader of this blog, get ready for some chocolate. TWD is going to be baking up some fabulous chocolate recipes this month! And I have the inside scoop to next month because I am one of the hostesses next month!
Anyway, to start off our run of chocolate recipes, we have the chocolate amaretti torte. Its a chocolaty fudge brownie but classier! The base of the cake uses the Italian almond cookie called amaretti. Open the bag and take a big sniff, the fragrance is amazing!
The cookies are finely chopped with additional almonds. Add butter, sugar, eggs and some melted chocolate and you have your cake. A chocolate glaze is added and to top it off an almond flavored whipped cream!
This cake was a huge hit with my family when I served it after our Easter dinner. It was so easy, it might become a regular tradition. And who wouldn't love being able to hop on a subway train, get off in Little Italy, pick up some amaretti cookies and head home to bake!
Thanks to Holly at Phe/MOM/enon for a great selection!

It looks great with all that whipped cream! Can't wait to see what you pick next month.
Glad it was such a hit with your family! It looks wonderful!
YUM! I can see why they liked it.
Sara unfortunately neglected to get us any of those fabulous amarreti cookies while we had a chance. They are only available in specialty stores around these parts.
So good!
This looks seriously good. You did a fantastic job. I am excited to make your chipster brownies next month. It looks super yummy and extrememly kid friendly....that helps me!!
Is the recipe for this devine looking Torte on here somewhere? I can't seem to find it.
