White Chocolate Strawberry Torte Recipe
White Chocolate Strawberry Torte
1 cup crushed vanilla wafers (about 30 wafers)
½ cup finely chopped almonds, toasted
¼ cup butter, melted
12 oz. white baking chocolate, melted
3 cups whole medium fresh strawberries
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup thawed orange juice concentrate
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 Tbsp. baking cocoa
Additional strawberries, cut in half
Set aside 2 tablespoons wafer crumbs. Combine almonds, butter and remaining crumbs; press onto the bottom on an ungreased 9 inch springform pan. Spoon 5 tablespoons of melted white chocolate over crust; sprinkle with reserved wafer crumbs. Arrange whole strawberries, tips up, over crumbs.
In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, juice concentrate and vanilla. Beat in remaining white chocolate. In another bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Stir 2 cups into the creamed cheese mixture; mix well. Fold in remaining whipped cream. Spread between and over strawberries. Cover and chill for 3 hours or overnight.
Carefully run a knife around sides of pan to loosen. Remove sides. Arrange between four 1 ½ inch wide strips of waxed paper over top; sprinkle cocoa between strips. Remove waxed paper. Place halved strawberries between cocoa rows. 10-12 servings
