Choc Halelnut Torte

[Astrid]

Metal spatulas - yet another thing to add to my ever growing "must buy for the kitchen" list.

Nelle - yep you can get the little packets from the supermarket, they are the exact amount as well. Lucky brand I think. You need the gooiness of of the Nutella. There are other versions though, some with chocolate in the meringue part. Will look to see what they do for the middle.

ETA: There are some cream and melted chocolate fillings, one with coffee. Would be nice, but the nutella is just easier.
Just realised there is a spelling mistake in the thread title

I'm just not big on hazelnut spread...think Rans eating it off the spoon has put me off it...

I can't have it in the house otherwise I eat the lot! I finished off the jar left over from the torte. I was so sad, every time DD1 came into the kitchen I hid behind the pantry door so I would not have to share it with her

You could do blonde ganache, which is made with coffee white chocolate and cream. Its a nigella recipe, you'd just have to fridge it till it got to spreading thickness and that would be scrummy.

Cailin - how did the next day taste test go?

it was great. It was more chewy and you're right the flavours melded moreso. But I'm not sure which I prefer I think they both are great individually LOL!
