Sean’s Chocolate Torte
The Perfect Gift for Mother’s Day
Chef Sean Connolly is known for his decadent dishes but none more indulgent than his Chocolate Torte recipe. Using Almond Flour, almond essence and Majari chocolate this torte will melt in your mouth and you’ll be sure to go back for seconds.

It is a very fruity chocolate, with tones of red fruits, and is slightly acidic in nature.
