  I would strongly suggest that nobody attempt this recipe unless you relish humiliation or particularly enjoy eating your desserts off the table with the assistance of a ladle and a straw. I followed the recipe very faithfully using all the correct ingredients and timings, the only two instructions ignored were firstly the suggestion that I chill the torte for 3hrs, in my opinion 3yrs would not be enough time to encourage this particular dessert to set, and secondly the suggestion that it would be at all humanly possible to 'slice and serve', our serving method involved practically pouring it onto a large plate which was just about adequate until we attempted to cut into it at which point it swelled off the confines of the pecan base and leaked all over the table.

  Tried this one for Christmas and worked very well. Mine set with no problems, only thing was I found I had too much for 1 cake tin and had to put into 2 but that could be my fault as I used a slightly smaller & shallow one as that was what I expected from a torte. Tasted delicious and both disappeared quickly, you can't ask for more than that. This is definetly a special occasion one.

  This is a melt-in-the-mouth winner! I will definitely make this again. Lots of people asked where I bought it, and I had quite a job convincing people I made it myself. After which I spent the next day mailing recipes to friends.

  This is a fantastic torte!!! I made this for a party and it was a huge success - lots of requests for the recipe. I only put 5 eggs in instead of 6, but that was because that was all I had. Very easy to make as well.

  We made this for a family get together and it went down a treat - my mother in law wants us to make it again - high praise !!! The recipe doesn't state the size of the eggs so to be on the safe side we used 5 large eggs and it set well. Tastes heavenly bur don't get too carried away it's very rich- you'll only need a small slice ! YUM !

  I made this a few weeks ago as a trial run before making it for a family get-together. I found this recipe makes a huge amount, which is fine if you are feeding a crowd. But for a small family meal, I suggest halving the recipe, as I did for the occasion. Especially as it is very rich and you only need a small portion. But apart from that it is an absolute hit! Really easy to make and defeats even the most dedicated chocoholic!
