- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup ground almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of ground almonds, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup of softened butter with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Press two-thirds of the dough into the prepared tart pan, forming a crust. Spread 1/2 cup of raspberry jam over the crust.
- Roll out the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the jam.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/4 cup of semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled Linzer Torte.
- Slice and serve the Chocolate Drizzled Linzer Torte. Enjoy!
The Linzer Torte is a classic Austrian dessert that dates back to the 17th century, making it one of the oldest known torte recipes in the world. This delectable treat is characterized by its buttery crust, typically made with ground nuts, and a sweet filling of raspberry jam. The torte is then topped with a lattice design made from the same dough, giving it a beautiful and intricate appearance. The addition of a chocolate drizzle adds a modern twist to this traditional dessert, infusing it with a rich and indulgent flavor. While the original Linzer Torte is a beloved staple in Austrian cafes and bakeries, the chocolate drizzle variation has gained popularity in trendy dessert shops and upscale restaurants around the world. To achieve the perfect Linzer Torte with a chocolate drizzle, it's crucial to use high-quality ingredients, such as fresh ground nuts for the crust and premium dark chocolate for the drizzle. Additionally, mastering the art of creating a delicate lattice crust is essential for an authentic presentation. For those looking to experiment with alternative methods, some chefs have incorporated different fruit fillings, such as apricot or blackberry, to put a unique spin on this timeless dessert. Whether enjoyed in its traditional form or with a modern chocolate twist, the Linzer Torte continues to captivate dessert enthusiasts with its irresistible blend of flavors and textures.
