Chocolate Amaretti Torte – Neil Cooper, The Foxham Inn
Chocolate Amaretti Torte – Neil Cooper, The Foxham Inn
This dessert is delicious and rich and wonderfully simple to make with your Thermomix. Many thanks for the recipe to Neil Cooper, Chef Owner of The Foxham Inn in Foxham, Wiltshire, who uses his Thermomix non-stop! Serve with fruit coulis and cream. Beautifully smooth and very rich, so serves at least 12 (Janie’s note: "I served 20 the last time I made it!") You’ll get lots of compliments when you serve this torte!
