Mexican Mocha Torte

Alright, so after being asked to bring a dessert to work so many times by my coworkers because I'm a pampered chef consultant, I decided to make this "Mexican mocha torte" recipe that comes in the "more Latin flavor" pampered chef cook book.

Now it is lots of work and requires a lot of patience, it takes quite a while to get it done, but believe me, it is worth the while. It is also very very sweet, so don't take a big piece haha a small one should do the trick :)

Well what r you waiting for? Get to bakin!!





ingredients:

nonstick cooking spray with flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels, divided
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 pkg (18-20 oz) fudge brownie mix
3 eggs
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp instant coffee granules dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 1/2 cups thawed frozen whipped topping, divided
Chocolate-covered espresso beans (optional)

1. preheat oven to 350F. spray 2 torte pans with nonstick cooking spray with flour. place 8inch circles of parchment paper over centers of pans;set aside. Combine 3/4 cup of chocolate and oil in small batter bowl. Microwave on HIGH 30 seconds or until melter; stir. In another mixing bowl (4qt) combine melted chocolate mixture, brownie mix, eggs, water and cinnamon. Divide batter between pans. Bake 9-11 minutes or until centers feel firm to the touch. Remove pans to stackable cooling rack; let stand for 5 minutes. invert one torte onto serving platter. invert second torte onto cooling rack. cool completely.

2. Whisk together cream cheese and dissolved coffee in classic batter bowl. add sugar; mix well. fold in 2 cups of the whipped topping. chill in freezer 5 minutes. for ganache, add remaining whipped topping to small micro-cooker. microwave on high 30 second; add remaining chocolate and stir until melted.

3. attach open-star tip to easy accent decorator; fill with 3/4 cup of the filling. spread remaining filling into well of torte on platter. carefully place second torte well-side up over filling. spread ganache into well. pipe rosettes over ganache; garnish with espresso beans if desired.
