Recipe

Torta Tre Monti

Layered wafer cake with chocolate hazelnut cream.

Ingredients

  • Wafer sheets
  • Chocolate
  • Hazelnut cream
  • Butter
  • Cocoa
  • Chopped hazelnuts

How to make it

  1. Melt chocolate with butter and hazelnut cream. Prepare this first and keep the heat moderate; rushing the first stage usually gives uneven texture later.
  2. Spread thinly between wafer sheets. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
  3. Press and chill until set. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
  4. Slice into neat wedges. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.

Serving note

Keep the plate simple and let the main texture lead: crisp pastry, tender stew, glossy sauce or fresh garnish. This page is a compact cooking guide, not a long article.
