Forgotten
Torte is literally that — a
whipped egg white mixture that's placed inside a very hot
oven. The oven is then turned off and the torte is forgotten for a couple of
hours or more! The soft meringue is then the basis for toppings such as fresh
berries with whipped cream, or ice cream and praline or chocolate sauce.
YUM!
