Austrian Almond Torte (Malakoff-Torte) image

I received this in an email but have not yet tried it. I visited Austria several years ago, and did, of course try the desserts, which were fabulous. I am sure that this is no exception, especially if you love almonds! So, put on a Mozart opera and enjoy! Chill time is included in cooking time (there is no actual "cooking" that goes on here.)

Time 12h35m

Yield 6-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

20 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups ground almonds
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons rum (optional) or 3 tablespoons brandy (optional)
40 ladyfingers
1 cup milk
1 cup toasted slivered almonds (to garnish)
powdered sugar (confectioner) or whipped cream (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Beat the butter, egg yolks, and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Stir in the ground almonds, cream, and optional rum.
  • Dip the ladyfingers in the milk and cover the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with them.
  • (Note: Wrap the outside of the springform pan with aluminum foil and secure with a piece of string to prevent leakage.) Spread 1/3 of the almond mixture over the ladyfingers.
  • Repeat with alternating layers of ladyfingers and almond mixture, ending with a layer of ladyfingers.
  • Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, place a heavy plate or cutting board on top, and refrigerate overnight.
  • To serve, run a thin knife blade around the inside of the pan before releasing the spring.
  • Press toasted slivered almonds around the side of the torte and top with powdered sugar or whipped cream.

This torte was divine! The almond flavor was subtle and the chocolate ganache was rich and decadent. It was the perfect dessert for a special occasion.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but it was a total flop. The torte was dry and crumbly, and the chocolate ganache was grainy. I don't know what went wrong, but I would not recommend this recipe.

This torte was a disappointment. The almond flavor was bland and the chocolate ganache was too thick. I would not recommend this recipe.

This torte was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The almond flavor was very pronounced, and the chocolate ganache was rich and decadent. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who loves sweet desserts.
