Looking for a Christmasy Dessert Torte Pans Recipe...

[TinaSizzles]

Hi all. I'm looking for a fun, yummy Christmasy-type dessert recipe that uses the torte pans.

I have a host who is doing a December party, and she has specially requested this. Unfortunately, I'm having problems finding a recipe that fits this bill.

Anyone know of some?

Thanks!

Bake them with chocolate cakes. Mix 8oz. cool whip with 3 oz. instant pistachio pudding mix, spread half of this in the middle of the bottom layer. Pipe regular cool whip around the outsdie - top with top layer. Spread light green mixture in center, place fresh strawberries or raspberries upside down on that green, and pipe cool whip around - dust with chocolate shavings.

One option could be a gingerbread torte. Here is a recipe that uses torte pans:Gingerbread Torte RecipeIngredients:- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour- 1 teaspoon baking soda- 1/2 teaspoon salt- 1 tablespoon ground ginger- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened- 1/2 cup brown sugar- 1/2 cup molasses- 1 large egg- 1/2 cup hot water- 8 oz cream cheese, softened- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened- 1 cup powdered sugar- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract- 1/2 cup heavy cream- Optional toppings: crushed gingerbread cookies, whipped cream, cinnamonInstructions:1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease two 8-inch torte pans and set aside.2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.3. In a separate bowl, beat the 1/4 cup of softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses and egg and mix until well combined.4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gradually pour in the hot water and mix until the batter is smooth.5. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared torte pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the tortes cool completely.6. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1/4 cup of softened butter together until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.7. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.8. Place one of the cooled tortes on a serving plate. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture over the top, then place the second torte on top. Use the remaining cream cheese mixture to frost the top and sides of the torte.9.
