How to Make Chocolate Torte No Baking

  1. Line a 7x7 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Chop 12 ounces of high-quality dark chocolate into small pieces. Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter into cubes.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is just simmering and small bubbles appear around the edges (about 3-5 minutes). Do not boil.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately whisk in the chopped chocolate and butter until completely melted and smooth. Stir until fully combined.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional) and any desired flavorings (e.g., 1 tablespoon crystallized ginger, ½ teaspoon orange extract, etc.).
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely set.
  8. Once set, lift the torte from the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Carefully transfer to a serving plate.
  9. Garnish with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of melted white chocolate before serving.
