Costco always has its fair share of incredible desserts that customers love, like the luxuriously layered tuxedo mousse cake or classic seasonal pumpkin pie. So, it's always alluring when the company brings out a new player. You never know if it'll be a hit or a flop. When I saw videos online a couple of days ago announcing that Costco had a new sweet in its arsenal - the chocolate brownie walnut pie - I immediately looked to see if my closest store had it.
Some say that Irish cream is made for people who want to pass off dessert as a drink, to which we say, what's the issue? In fact, this combo of Irish whiskey, heavy cream, and various sweet flavorings is begging to jump out of the cocktail glass and into your favorite sweet treat recipes. One of the easiest, most delectable examples is a no-bake Irish cream chocolate pie.
In case you didn't know, a chocolate torte is a European cake made without flour. Instead, it's ground nuts, starches, or bread crumbs that give it a dense, soft structure. With Tasting Table's version, recipe developer Catherine Brookes opted for almond meal, which she described as adding "a nutty flavor and making the torte rich and moist." Obviously, other baking essentials, such as melted butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extracts, are still included. And we can't possibly go without the cake's heart and soul: cocoa powder and dark chocolate.
