Caramel Pistachio Torte serves dark chocolate chips and pistachios in a rich caramel layer atop a chocolate cookie crumb crust. This recipe is entered in a Food Wine Conference contest sponsored by Florida Dairy Farmers where you can win prizes. I received no further compensation for writing this post. All opinions are my own.
Sometimes I feel like diving into a rich dessert, head first.
You know the feeling. Maybe you had a bad day and need some comfort. Better yet, you had a great day and want a little reward!
Either way or maybe, just because you love caramel, nuts, and of course chocolate!
Caramel Pistachio Torte layers the richness of milk and yogurt swirled with chocolate chips and bits of pistachios inside. A thick, dark chocolate cookie crust holds its own in flavor.
Together these flavors treat your taste buds to a wild flavor ride! Grab a cup of coffee or better yet, a glass of milk and dig in!
