April is always a happy month—Spring is in the air, flowers are blossoming, the sun is coming out to play, everywhere you go or turn to has a new and revived energy.
Spring is just a happy time and happy time calls for a smashing and happy recipe that everyone can enjoy and celebrate, such as this Flourless Chocolate Walnut Torte recipe.
Since Easter falls on this Sunday, I thought this recipe will be excellent for the family.

The toasted walnut topping adds a nice nutty crunch and make the chocolate torte even better.
After baking, you need to chill the torte, preferably overnight.
So, if you are making this recipe for Easter Sunday, you can start making this Saturday.
