Torta Caprese, the famous flourless chocolate and almond cake from the island of Capri, is hard not to love. A few essential ingredients are all you need: chocolate, almond flour, butter, sugar and eggs.

No-Bake Chocolate Tart

3/4CUP cream

7OZ. chocolate cookies

2/3CUP butter

milk chocolate

dark chocolate

Meringues

Gently melt 1/2 cup of butter. Crush the cookies and mix them with the butter. Spread the mixture on the bottom of a cake pan (10 inch diameter, 1 inch deep), pressing it down well with your hands. Refrigerate it while you prepare the rest.&nbsp;

Heat the cream with the rest of the butter for a couple of minutes. Coarsely chop the dark and milk chocolate. Place it in a mixing bowl and pour the hot cream over it; let sit for 1 minute, then stir, allowing the chocolate to melt fully.

St. Honoré Cake

nullC. flour

nullSTICKS butter

nullC. sugar

vanilla baking powder (Vanillina)

nullC. milk

cornstarch

heavy cream

mediumsized cream puffs, unfilled

Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt with the butter, then incorporate the egg yolks and mix until you obtain a soft, even dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for 1 hour. Roll it out on a sheet of parchment paper until it is about 1/8-inch thick and then transfer both into a baking pan. Surround the dough with an 8 1/2 inch cake ring; trim any excess dough sticking out and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

FOR THE CREME CHIBOUST: Combine 2 egg yolks with 3 1/2 teaspoons of sugar and the cornstarch. Heat the milk with the vanilla bean pod, cut in half lengthwise; once it comes to a boil, strain it over the egg yolks and cook the cream for 3-4 minutes. Let cool. Beat 2 egg whites to stiff peaks. Cook the remaining sugar

in 1 1/2 tablespoons of water until it reaches 250°F. Slowly pour the sugar syrup into the egg whites, continuing to beat until the meringue is cool. Incorporate the meringue into the cream; place the crème in a pastry bag with a slim tip. Make a small hole in the bottom of the cream puffs and fill with the crème chiboust.

TO COMPLETE: Melt the sugar in a small saucepan until you obtain a light golden caramel; to keep it nice and fluid, cook half first and then the second half. Dunk the cream puffs one by one, coating the tops. Place them on a sheet of parchment paper to chill; if you want a smoother, shinier effect, place them upside down inside silicone muffin tins. Arrange the cream puffs along the circumference of the crust, sticking them down with a bit of the crème; form a spiral with the crème in the center of the cake; finish with dollops of cream in the space between each cream puff. Decorate with whipped cream, piped using a pastry bag with a Saint Honoré tip.
