German Fruit Torte Recipe

"Obsttorte"

This fruit torte recipe is so delicious. Made with fresh berries, it's a great summertime treat.

You can use a mix of berries, such as raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, or blueberries. You could also just use one type, such as strawberries, and turn this into a Strawberry Fruit Torte recipe.

Berry Torte

For the pictured cake, I used lots and lots of huge strawberries, blackberries, and halved grapes. Because of the quantity of fruit, I dissolved 1 package of gelatin in 2 cups of unsweetened apple juice (following package instructions). I let the gelatin thicken slightly in the fridge for about 1 hour before spooning it over the fruit.

The original recipe calls for one leaf of gelatin dissolved in 100 ml of juice. This is commonly used in Germany, but does not dissolve as easily as the granulated gelatin. If you have leaf gelatin, you can use it here. The conversion for gelatin is 4 leaves = 1 package gelatin = 1 tsp. granulated gelatin.

This is a great "diet" German dessert, very light and with little sugar - actually no sugar - honey is used for sweetness.

Serve this with frozen vanilla yogurt for a scrumptious finish to a traditional German meal. For a more decadent dessert, serve with whipped cream.
