Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add a piece of round parchment paper to the bottom of an 8 inch springform pan. Lightly spray the sides with nonstick spray.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips in 30 second increments. Stop and stir between each increment until fully melted but not burnt.

Then, add in the sugar, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk together.

Next, add in the eggs and egg yolk. Stir together.

Add in the cocoa powder and stir together.

In another clean bowl, add the chilled heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat until peaks form.

Use a spatula to fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.

Transfer this mixture to the lined springform pan. Smooth into an even layer.

Bake for 25 to 27 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.

Remove the pan from the oven. Allow the torte to cool for at least one hour. Chill in the fridge to speed up this process.

Finally, carefully slice and serve this flourless chocolate torte!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chocolate Tempering for Silky Texture 🍫
Melt chocolate chips over a double boiler at low heat (around 115°F) to prevent seizing and ensure a smooth, fudgy crumb structure that won't be grainy or bitter.
Room Temperature Eggs for Volume ✨
Bring eggs to room temperature before beating to maximize air incorporation, which creates the signature light, airy structure that contrasts beautifully with the fudgy interior.
Sea Salt Enhancement 🧂
Sprinkle sea salt on top immediately after baking while the torte is still warm—it cuts through the richness and intensifies the chocolate flavor by brightening and balancing sweetness.
Underbaking is Essential ⏱️
Remove the torte when a toothpick inserted in the center still has moist crumbs (not fully clean), as carryover cooking will set it to perfect fudgy consistency—overbaking creates a dry cake.
Cold Whipped Cream Pairing 🥄
Whip heavy cream with minimal sugar and vanilla just before serving, as the cold, light contrast makes each bite feel less heavy and allows the intense chocolate to shine without overwhelming palates.
