Barkeater Chocolates’ Soy Almond Torte

12 ounces bittersweet chocolate

12 ounces unsweetened chocolate

1 ½ cups (12 oz) unsweetened plain soymilk

1 tablespoon almond flavored liqueur

½ cup granulated sugar

½ tsp. pure almond extract

½ cup sliced almonds

1 scoop soy vanilla ice cream (optional)

Melt chocolate in microwave safe bowl on 50% power in microwave, in 45 second intervals, stirring in between.

Meanwhile, heat soymilk in saucepan on medium heat just until scalding (bubbles forming along the edges of the soymilk) - not a full boil.

Pour soymilk over melted chocolate and stir until fully incorporated. Add almond liqueur, sugar and almond extract and stir to blend.

Pour into a lightly greased 8-10” spring form pan. Top with sliced almonds. Chill in refrigerator until firm, about 3-4 hours. Slice and serve alone or with a scoop of soy vanilla ice cream.
