With the optional raspberry coulis that I recommend.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Since dark chocolate is becoming popular for its healthy antioxidants, we are able to call this dark chocolate torte health food. Right? We say yes! Rich and decadent, this will make an impressive dessert for a dinner party or special occasion. Since it's prepared in a food processor or high-speed blender, the smooth and creamy torte is easy to make. We enjoyed the sweet and tart raspberry coulis drizzled over a slice of the dark chocolate torte. A delicious bite!
