Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Chilling Time: 4 to 24 hours
Servings: 8 to 10
Ingredients:
    Topping:
  • 3 cups (750 mL) Ontario Rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) pieces
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1-1/2 tbsp (22 mL) cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) water
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) seedless raspberry or strawberry jam

    • Filling:
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) butter, softened
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) milk
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) white chocolate chips, melted (about 4 oz / 125 g)

    • Torte:
  • 1 200 g prepared cake flan (9-inch/23 cm)
  • 1-1/2 tbsp (22 mL) orange liqueur, apple or orange juice

    • Garnish:
  • Mint leaves (optional)
Preparation:

Topping: In large saucepan, bring rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch and water to boil over medium heat; cook, stirring often, until completely softened and thickened, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in jam. Cool, cover and chill until firm or for up to 2 days.

Filling: In bowl, beat butter, sugar and milk until smooth. Blend in melted chocolate; set aside.

Torte: Brush inside and outside edges of flan with liqueur or juice; spread filling evenly inside flan. Place flan on serving plate butter side up. Spoon rhubarb in middle of filling, spreading to within 1/2-inch (1 cm) of edge. Chill for 4 to 24 hours. Garnish with mint leaves if desired. Cut into wedges to serve.

Tip: To melt chocolate, place in bowl and set over simmering water until softened; stir to completely melt. Or microwave for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes on Medium (50% power), stirring halfway through and at end to completely melt.

NOTE: Microwave recipes tested in a 700-watt microwave oven. Power level terminology in microwave ovens varies; check your owner's manual and use whichever word or number gives you the same percentages as in the recipe (High is always 100%). If your oven differs, cooking times may vary.
