- I don't know if this is what Wendy is looking for, but I really think
- it's quite wonderful. (Just don't tell the American Heart Association
- about it...) I got this recipe from a friend, who has become rather
- a specialist at making these things.

- Flourless Chocolate Torte
- (from David Thomas)
-
- INGREDIENTS:
- 7 eggs
- 9 oz butter
- 18 oz semi- or bittersweet chocolate
-
- Bring eggs to room temperature or slightly above. (Soaking them in warm
- water works well.)
-
- Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler.
-
- Beat eggs to three times their volume. Gradually fold in the
- chocolate-butter mixture. Pour the frothy chocolate-egg-butter mixture
- into a pan. (e.g., springform)
-
- Have a water bath prepared in the oven, and set the pan in the water
- bath. Bake uncovered for 5 minutes at 425 F, and covered for another
- 10 minutes. Make sure that the torte is sufficiently done; it should
- be firm, and rather dry.
-
- Let the torte cool before eating. It's particularly good with whipped
- cream and/or raspberries.
