This Chocolate, Hazelnut and Raspberry Torte is delicious, simple, effective and there’s no need to put the oven on. It is no bake!
Of course, it’s gluten-free vegan too. It is super decadent and very rich but sometimes you need a treat or maybe you need a special dessert for a special occasion (or a special person). If that is the case look no further.
This torte is also a coconut-free recipe (which is pretty hard to come by). Coconut is super fashionable but it really doesn’t agree with me and I honestly don’t like it. So I developed my own gorgeous recipe. As well as coconut free it is also soya free (if you use soya free margarine) and alcohol free.
This tart is really rich and very chocolatey… If you LOVE chocolate desserts you will LOVE the uber decadent Gluten-Free, Vegan Triple Chocolate Cake and super rich and gooey Uber Rich Chocolate and Strawberry Brownies.

Top Tips – Chocolate, Hazelnut and Raspberry Torte
I used a metal fluted tin 20-22 centimetres in diameter with a loose bottom – really useful for easily releasing the torte.
Use frozen raspberries when they are not in season. Raspberries freeze and thaw really well, keeping their integrity and flavour.
This is super rich so when you serve this unctuous delight you might want to cut quite thin slices. I like to serve it on it’s own (may be with a mint leaf or two) but it would be wonderful with lemon sorbet or vanilla ‘ice cream’.

100 millilitres hazelnut milk
Punnet raspberries (150-200 grams)
Method – Chocolate, Hazelnut and Raspberry Torte – Shell
1. Grease the torte tin
2. In a small pan, on a low heat, melt the margarine and add the sugar. When the sugar has dissolved remove from the heat
3. Put the ground almonds, ground hazelnuts and cocoa in a large bowl and add the margarine and sugar mixture and mix well until it is a uniform mixture

5. Place in the fridge to set for at least 10 minutes whilst you make the filling.
Method – Chocolate Hazelnut and Raspberry Torte – Filling
1. Break up the chocolate in to a metal or glass mixing bowl, add the margarine and hazelnut milk. Place a pan (narrower than the top of the bowl but wide enough for the bottom of the bowl to fit) with boiling water to a depth of around two centimetres on the hob on a low heat. Sit the mixing bowl in the pan. It should sit in the pan and not touch the water. This is very important
2. Slowly melt the chocolate stirring from time to time to incorporate the chocolate, margarine and hazelnut milk. Once the chocolate is fully melted and all the ingredients are fully incorporated remove from the heat
3. Take the torte case from the fridge and set on a flat surface. Fill the torte case with the chocolate mixture and gently shake or tap to level
4. Place the raspberries on the top of the torte in any pattern you like. Place in the fridge to set for at least an hour
5. When the torte has set remove the outer ring, cut in to slices and serve.
