Allergens

Milk, Soy (in graham crackers)

Ingredients

  • 12 graham crackers (gluten
  • free)
  • 8 oz dark chocolate (gluten
  • free), chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 7
  • oz jar marshmallow fluff
  • 1 tsp edible gold dust
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Begin by creating a graham cracker crust. In a food processor, pulse the gluten free graham crackers until they become fine crumbs. Transfer to a bowl and mix with 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch springform pan. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  2. In a double boiler, gently heat the chopped dark chocolate and heavy cream until smooth and silky. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the graham cracker crust and spread evenly. Allow it to set for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
  4. Gently warm the marshmallow fluff in a microwave safe bowl for about 20 seconds, stirring until smooth. Pour the warmed marshmallow over the chocolate layer and spread evenly with an offset spatula.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the edible gold dust with the vegetable oil to create a shining, golden drizzle. Using a spoon, drizzle the gold dust mixture over the marshmallow layer, creating a celestial effect.
  6. Chill the torte for at least 1 hour before serving. Remove from the refrigerator and let it warm slightly before cutting into wedges with a sharp knife.
