PREP TIME: 20-30 minutes

REFRIGERATOR TIME: 4 hours

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Split the ladyfingers then line a 9" spring form pan across the bottom and around the sides.

2. In a deep, 2 or 3-quart mixing bowl, whisk topping mix and SlimFast. Using an electric mixer on low to medium power, gradually blend in the chocolate soymilk. When dry mixture is lightly blended into the soymilk, set the mixer on high power and whip until filling is light, fluffy, and forms peaks when the beaters are lifted, about 4 minutes.

3. Spread 1/3 of the mix over the layer of the ladyfingers on the bottom of the pan. Top with another layer of ladyfingers. Repeat with a second and third layer of mocha mixture and ladyfingers. Sprinkle top with optional chopped toasted hazelnuts and grated chocolate if desired.

4. Cover loosely with tented aluminum foil and refrigerate a minimum of 5 hours or overnight. To serve, remove sides of spring form pan and place torte on a large serving platter for presentation before slicing. Serve torte slices on decorative dessert plates with fresh berries on the side.
