You learn from an early age; if at first you don't succeed.....try again. Which is exactly what I had to do with this recipe. I have absolutely no idea what I did when I first tried to make this torte, but the filling was so runny that it was like soup. So I decided to add the sugar and cream cheese to my chocolate soup which only ended being chocolate soup with clumps of cream cheese (which looked like vomited curdled cheese). Doesn't that sound yummy?!?!? Down the sink goes the soup. I am guessing at this point I might have done something wrong so back to the recipe I go to.... READ IT. After re-reading the recipe, I thought to myself, "Good Lord, Donna - did you even read the recipe the first time?" I totally screwed it up the first time. I mixed everything in one bowl and used too much milk.
Round Two. Pudding with milk, beat for 2 minutes until thick; add melted chocolate and stir in whipped cream. Check. Cream cheese, sugar, milk, mix together in different bowl. Check. Fold in another cup whipped cream. Check. No chocolate soup with vomit clumps this time...insert short cheer here (yeah). Cover with more whipped cream and into fridge for 3 hours to chill.
Before I knew it 3 hours had passed. The moment of truth....inverting the torte out onto a serving plate. Drum roll please. Sweet success. I top the torte with shaved chocolate and have the inaugural piece. How sum up the torte??? It is Chocolately (not a real word, but perfect to describe) good.
No else partook of the torte, but when I woke up this morning a 1/4 of the torte had been eaten. Remember the guy who said that he couldn't eat more than one whoopie pie??? He got hungry after working out last night and had some torte. I am guessing he likes this recipe. Of course that's just a guess and I might be wrong, but I doubt it. Insert wink here.
