A chocolate biscuit base, smooth, rich creamy middle countered with ripe, fresh juicy raspberries. If you are searching for that extra special treat for Father’s Day look no further. This truly decadent treat is undoubtedly the last word in luxury.
I absolutely love baking for my Dad, one of the main reasons I can’t pass up Father’s Day without an extra special treat for him!
He always tells me how much he loves my new endeavours in the kitchen and many have taken a permanent place on his ‘favourites’ list!
It’s hard not to enjoy baking for someone who is so appreciative.
This is also the main reason I wanted to make this extra special Raspberry Chocolate Torte, I know he will just love, for today.
I wasn’t kidding when I said this is a luxurious dessert. The biscuit layer is so light and crunchy, the chocolate filling is super smooth, rich and creamy and the raspberries add the perfect light, sweet, refreshing balance.
Plus it’s surprisingly quick and easy to make – just make sure you give it a little time to set – and you’re sure to have the perfect sumptuous dessert, sure to impress any dinner party guest! :)
