Delicious Torte Recipes Without Nuts: Share Your Favorites!

[WendyE]

Hi! Just got the torte pans and want to try them out for a gathering this weekend. Thought I would be able to do tons of cool things with them, but now that I have them and I'm looking around I'm not finding many recipe that use them? Anyone care to share their favorite torte recipes with me? Something simple but delicious, since I have other things to cook as well. It also can't have nuts. Nut allergy in the group. Thanks ahead!!

What are your favorites? I may be able to just leave the nuts out.

My personal all-time favorite is the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Torte. OMG!!! It is so freakin good!! It is rich, delicious, and combines so many of my favorite flavors together. YUM! YUM! YUM!!

If there are nut allergies, try the Chocolate Cherry Cordial Torte and leave out the almonds...you won't miss them and it's DELISH!!!! I also agree that the Peanut Butter Cup torte is one of my favorites, but...kinda hard to do if someone has a nut allergy.

It's actually called the Cherry Cordial Torte and if you go to CC under Products and Recipes>Theme Cooking Shows>Theme Shows Recipe Archives, the recipe is in the Homemade for the Holidays F/W 2009.

I heap one well full of ice cream, turn the other over so they are facing well-to-well and I then make an icing using 1 cup milk, 1 pkg any flavor pudding mix and 1 tub of cool whip. I icing and put in the freezer for 3 hours. It is an awesome ice cream cake. You can even decorate with the decrator bottle set or the easy accent decorator.

You can even double the pudding mixture and put it in the wells placing one cake over the other. I did this at thanksgiving w/ jello's pumkin spice pudding and it was yummo!

Okay, I am a huge fan of the torte pans. Just made the chocolate hazelnut torte last night. No help to you since it has nuts but man is it fabulous!

The mojito torte from the s/s season's best is really good too. You could substitute lemons for the limes, omit the mint, and make it a lemon torte. But the mojito as is, is delicious.

Here's a tip...I spray the heck out of the pan with Pam. That way I'm sure it comes out with no problems. And be sure to not forget the parchment paper in the center!

Whatever you make it'll be fabulous. It's cake after all! Who doesn't like cake?!

Yes, this is my favorite, too! (Probably because it tastes close to the Black Forest Trifle - which I LOVE!)

But, anyway, you can go to PamperedChef.com (you don't even need to go to CC) and click on recipes and advanced search and type torte for the product.

Here is what comes up:

Chicken Jalapeño Cornbread Bake
Breakfast Potato Frittata
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Torte
Fiery Chocolate Torte
Bananas Foster Tart
Chocolate Mint Silk Torte
Chocolate-Raspberry Dream Torte

I'm such a dork!! I didn't get the no nuts thing. I'm sorry. There is another torte that is yummy and it is the Coconut Rum cake that was in the Spring/Summer Season's Best in about 2007. Very easy and light tasting.

Oh, and there was an Island Rum cake done in the torte pan - if I'm not mistaken. I am pretty sure it came out the season before I became a consultant, which would make it in the Spr/Sum 2007 SB - which is available on CC.

CAn't believe I forgot about the Mock Lemon Meringue Cake in the torte pan. It's on CC recipes under Sweet Favorites. My son BEGS for me to make it all the time.

Yes, this one was VERY good.

I made it for DH and I thought it was a PAIN to make. I felt like I had dirtied every dish in the house!!!

But, that would probably be a good show recipe - as it uses a lot of items.

:love:I made the Orange Dream Torte (Simply Sweet Desserts)...YUMMMMM...easy too!! This will leave you dreaming of summer!!:sing:

I love the Chocolate Hazelnut Torte--and it's even better the next day! I like the Mock Lemon Merengue Torte, too. But my all-time favorite is the Chocolate Peanut Butter Torte. Served warm, the marshmallows get nice and gooey and the PB cups just are nice and melty...YUM! (Have to have some milk to wash it down though, it's very rich!)

 

[WendyE]

You guys are awesome! Thanks so much for all the feed back! Appreciate it so much!!

There is a mint one in the Holiday Cookbook (I think!) that I really liked.

And, if all else fails, there's alway J-E-L-L-O!

I love these pans. You can take any flavor cake mix and make the cake. Cooking time is shorter since they are wider and thinner.

Then make a mix with any flavor pudding, milk and cool whip. Fill the bottom layer with this, cover with the top layer, then fill the next well. Dot the edges with leftover cool whip. Sprinkle with cocoa or powedered sugar, depending on the color of the filling.

We call it the twinkie cake here at my house.

The combinations are endless:
Boston creme with yellow cake and choc filling
Lemon supreme with lemon/lemon and topped w/ PC lemon sprinkles
Orange sumpreme topped with drained mandarins

This is all loosely base on that island torte which is pineapple flavored.
