If you're after a decadent finish to a meal, you can't go wrong with a chocolate torte. Joe Fox's version, inspired by Delia Smith's Famous Chocolate Truffle Torte, builds on a winning formula of chocolate and cream by adding lots of rum, both in the chocolate filling and the accompanying raisins. A scoop of clotted cream finishes things off nicely, but a drop of pouring cream would be just as good.
It always pays to have a reliable dessert in your back pocket, and Joe Fox's chocolate torte, inspired by Delia Smith's Famous Chocolate Truffle Torte, is the perfect recipe to please a crowd. An amaretti biscuit base, luscious rum-spiked chocolate ganache filling and a few rum-soaked raisins on top for good measure create something guaranteed to go down a storm.
This recipe is doubly useful as it's very adaptable. You could trade the rum for a different spirit, amaretti biscuits can become digestives and clotted cream can become ice cream, if you so wished.
