Tips and Tricks

  • After adding the flour mixture, make sure to mix until just combined. Overmixed dough allows more air into the batter, and your torte could end up caving in the middle
  • For your topping, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid ending with a lumpy topping.
  • If you have a stand mixer with a whisk attachment you can use it to beat in the cream and coffee into the cream cheese and sugar, it will help to aerate the topping making it fluffier. Don’t worry if you don’t, just make sure your cream is chilled. Stop beating when your mixture turns with a stiff consistency, and do not over beat or you’ll risk having a runny topping.
  • Lastly, make sure your coffee brownie torte is completely chilled before you add your topping! cream cheese and heat do not go well together when trying to achieve a stiff-like consistency.
