Nutty Torte Layered Dessert

Nutty Torte is a delicious layered dessert. The nut based crust, cream cheese layer, pudding layer and cool whip topping come together to create the perfect dessert.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that I literally hear the heavens singing every time I go to take my first bite of this dessert! I was introduced to this Nutty Torte Layered Dessert from my husbands Aunt over 10 years ago and my life has forever been changed. It will legit make you wonder where it’s been your whole life and you will never regret consuming those calories! haha!

I’m not going to lie, this dessert is a little more time consuming to prepare then I prefer. BUT, it’s SO worth it! The layers and layers of creamy goodness are just pure perfection!

I generally make it right after breakfast, so I can do the dishes with my breakfast mess!

There are instructions in the recipe below, but here’s a quick visual of the layers!

Layered desserts are some of my favorite desserts. Yes, they can be more time consuming, because you are having to cook or cool the different layers prior to adding the next loayer. BUT… they variety of flavors and textures make it well worth it!  I’m sure you’ll love this as much as I do!

WHAT IS A TORTE?

A Torte calls for little to no flour and then uses ground nuts or breadcrumbs in its place. Where a traditional cake is made with sugar, eggs, butter and flour.

This particular recipe does use a little flour in the crust, but in the torte itself there is no flour.
