Mini Flourless Chocolate Tortes

The big stuff…

How much I love and appreciate my family and friends.

The realization of how much I could be affecting my client’s lives.

The realization of how much my clients are affecting my life.

Trying to figure out what I REALLY want to do with my life.

My attempt at trying to find a level of compassion and understanding with each person I meet

The small stuff…

I really want to cut my hair.

I really don’t want to clean the house.

I wonder what I should make for dinner?

Could I blog about what I decide to make for dinner?

We should just go out to eat.

The big and small stuff… 

These mini tortes.

Big big flavor hidden in a small little package.

They are so rich and fudgy that one is definitely plenty to satisfy a sweet craving without packing on tons of calories!

      They will love them. I just threw them together as an experiment and took them to work and I got several compliments that people thought it was one of the best things they had eaten in a while. I love surprises like that!

    Every day I praise the “small stuff” in my life.. because it means my life is just perfect the way it is. I worry about the “big stuff” that pops up every now and then. What pretty little cakes.. it’s hard to believe they’re flourless! xx

    They looked good when they came out, but were very egg-y. Maybe replace some of the egg with baking powder, or only use egg yolks?

        Thanks. I’ll let you know how I make out. This is my husband’s favorite dessert but I can’t be trusted with
        all of them beckoning me from the fridge. :)

    These looked scrumptious and couldn’t wait to try them. Unfortunately, I got so excited and ahead of myself when I was making them that I inadvertently forgot to add the whipped frothy eggs (which were in another bowl on the other side of the kitchen) before pouring them into the muffin pan!! UGH! I know, right??! Don’t you hate when that happens?!

    So, on a side note, I thought I’d mention that it wasn’t a total disaster… If you leave out the eggs, just put them in the frig or freezer. They firm up enough to taste like a decadent dark chocolate candy.

    Just a note though… they are messy. They WILL melt on contact with the heat of your hands, so keep them in the paper liners or eat them fast. LOL And a little goes a long way, they’re rich this way, very dense.

    But… if life gives you lemons, make lemonade, I say!

    Thanks for this wonderful recipe. Can’t wait to try it … the RIGHT way… again next week, heheh!

      So, couldn’t wait! Had to make them again, the right way. Turned out wonderful. Fabulous, either way!

      I see this recipe with the potential for so many variations. Raspberries are intense with flavor, but pomegranate would work wonders, orange is a nice complement (orange zest) or even lemon zest. Yum!
