O’boy…
This is your only recipe i’ve read, but I am subscribing to you. Thanks for the visions of raw heaven. Where I live doesn’t even need a fridge if I let it set overnight.

I made this last night for the first time, and brought the torte to a friend’s party, something I rarely if ever do with untested recipes. I had the utmost faith in your recipe, and it was not unfounded. It was delicious! I love that it’s so healthy and so decadent. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, thanks a lot for the recipe. I was the first, (i’m 24, about 12 years now), of now a full family of vegetarians with a couple of vegans sprinkled in. This is a dish that makes EVERYONE happy. A dessert to fool the best of them too. Serious contention for the best vegetarian dessert i’ve tasted and easily the best vegan one. Seriously good work

@ Jo – Mmm, I bet the apricots added a delicious sweet/tart element! I’m going to have to try that. =)

@ Lady Bee – I would say another light colored, softer nut like hazelnuts or brazil nuts would work nicely. Maybe even pine nuts? I’d probably go with hazelnuts though. Make sure you soak them, and let me know how it works out!

This looks so lovely! I am currently non dairy (so yay for this recipe) but also cannot eat cashews or peanuts, other nuts are fine. Which would you suggest to replace the cashews? Thanks!

I substituted half of the dates for dried apricots. I didn’t have enough pecans and used almonds as well.

The torte was delicious!!! I loved the ganache and it was a total crowd pleaser! Thanks so much for sharing! This will make a regular appearance in my kitchen.
