Gluten-Free Flourless Chocolate Torte Recipe – Passover Friendly

My mother in law handed me a recipe the other day for a flourless chocolate torte recipe. She asked me to make it for dessert during the second night of Passover. Of course I made it, and of course I couldn’t resist sharing the recipe and results with you on the Good For You Gluten Free blog.

This cake is delicious – it really shouldn’t only be served on Passover. Just beware, this torte is so rich… just a small slice will satisfy even the most chocoholic cravings out there.

I covered my torte with Kosher for Passover frosting I found at the grocery store and some fresh raspberries. It would also go nicely topped with some fresh whipping cream, which you can make yourself by beating 1 cup of whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar until stiff.

So at your next Passover-friendly meal, or when you’re wanting to make a rich, decadent gluten-free dessert, give this flourless chocolate torte a try.
