Chocolate Torte - No Baking

Submitted by Little ghostie

"This torte is like rich soft dark chocolate that can be served plain with raspberrys/ other fruit to temper the sweetness. Alternatively a flavouring can be added to the mixture before pouring into the mould to add intrest such as crystallised ginger or orange extract etc. Everybody I've served this to has requested the recipe and it's so easy and quick to make and serve you should really try it out! Also perfect for dinner parties as it can be made a few days in advance and just stored in the fridge until needed."
