Print Recipe

A rich, moist, and luscious flourless chocolate torte sweetened with honey and studded with toasted walnuts. This easy homemade dessert is naturally gluten-free and perfect for special occasions or cozy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate (60% cacao), chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115 g), softened
  • 1/3 cup honey (120 ml), raw if possible
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup walnuts (120 g), toasted and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Butter an 8-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release. Toast the walnuts on a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes until fragrant, then chop coarsely.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter together using a double boiler: place chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir gently until smooth and glossy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Whisk the eggs and honey together in a large bowl until the mixture is thick, pale, and slightly frothy—about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Slowly fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and honey mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the air incorporated.
  5. Gently fold in the vanilla extract, salt, and toasted walnuts until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes. The edges should be set and slightly pulling away from the pan, while the center will still have a slight jiggle.
  8. Cool completely in the pan for 1-2 hours. Run a knife around the edges before releasing the springform. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour to set fully before slicing.

Notes

If you need a dairy-free version, substitute unsalted butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free dark chocolate. For a nut-free option, substitute walnuts with toasted pumpkin seeds or omit altogether. Toast walnuts carefully to avoid burning. Avoid overbaking to keep the torte moist and fudgy. Chill before slicing for clean cuts. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water for neat slices.
