Steps:
- For the crust: Add the cookies to a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse together. Tip into an 11-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom and press the mixture in with a 1/4-cup measure to form an even crust on the bottom and sides. Put it in the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
- For the ganache: Put the cream and butter in a pan and heat until the mixture starts to bubble.
- Put the dark and milk chocolate in a bowl and pour the warmed cream and butter over it. Mix everything together until melted and fully combined, then pour it into the chilled tart base. Refrigerate the tart overnight until set.
- For the chocolate curl garnish: Put the white chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl and set over a pan of simmering water until the chocolate is melted; mix together. Pour the melted mixture onto the underside of a clean baking sheet and spread it in a very thin layer with an offset spatula or knife. Put it in the freezer until set, about 2 minutes. (To check if it is set, press it with your fingertip; it should leave the slightest mark but not a depression.)
- Using a sharp-edged spatula, scrape the chocolate from the bottom of the baking sheet into curls. Remove the tart from the pan and decorate with the curls.

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
I make this recipe for the holidays. It is the only pie that is gone at the end of the night. I use high-quality chocolate chips; they are easier to melt. You can use milk or semi sweet chips. You can use any ready made or cooked pie crust.

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE FLOURLESS CAKE
This recipe is from Bon Appetit. It is truly "Death by Chocolate." It's a rich and moist flourless cake. Next time, I will try adding less corn syrup to the glaze. It makes the glaze cloyingly sweet.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter 9-inch-diameter springform pan. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper and butter the paper. Wrap outside of pan with foil.
- Stir chocolate and butter in medium saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Cool to lukewarm, stirring often.
- Beat egg yolks and 6 tablespoons sugar in large bowl until mixture is thick and pale, about 3 minutes if you use an electric mixer.
- Fold chocolate mixture and vanilla extract into yolk mixture.
- Using clean dry beaters, beat egg whites in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 6 tablespoons sugar, beating until medium-firm peaks form. Fold whites into chocolate mixture in 3 additions. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake about 50 minutes or until cake top is puffed and cracked and tester inserted into center comes out with some moist crumbs attached, about 50 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack. Don't worry if the cake falls.
- Cut around pan sides to loosen cake and then remove pan sides. Invert cake onto a plate. Peel off parchment paper.
- For the glaze: Bring cream and corn syrup to simmer in medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth.
- To finish: Spread 1/2 cup glaze smoothly over top and sides of cake. Freeze until almost set, about 3 minutes.
- Pour remaining glaze over cake; smooth sides and top. Place cake on platter. Chill until glaze is firm, about 1 hour. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting, as this will help them to combine more easily and smoothly.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter, continue baking for a few more minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you are short on time, you can use a store-bought chocolate ganache instead of making your own.
- To make the cake even more decadent, you can add a layer of chocolate mousse between the layers of cake.
- Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Conclusion:
This death by chocolate chocolate torte is the perfect dessert for any chocolate lover. It is rich, decadent, and absolutely delicious. With its multiple layers of chocolate cake, chocolate ganache, and chocolate mousse, this cake is sure to satisfy even the most discerning sweet tooth. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to impress your friends and family, give this chocolate torte a try. You won't be disappointed!
