Almond Flourless Chocolate Torte

I found this recipe on the internet because we are going to a cast and crew party today and we were asked to bring dishes from different ethnic groups. Since one of my daughters danced in a Jewish dance, I found this Jewish Almond Flourless Chocolate Torte. Haven't tried it yet, but it is sitting in my fridge right now and it looks delicious. God willing, the rain will hold off and we will get to dig into it later today. If it turns out to be awful, I'll let you know :)

Serves 10

1/2 c strong brewed coffee
2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 sticks of butter, softened
1/2 tsp almond extract
4 eggs
1 c sugar, divided
2 tbls sliced almonds, toasted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Heat coffee, 1/4 c sugar, butter and chocolate chips until smooth. Don't burn! Remove from heat and let cool.

Remove from oven and let cool in refrigerator overnight. Place bottom of pan in hot water to remove.

Have a Peaceful and Restful Sunday. God Bless!
