I have made this recipe about 4 times now, going on the 5th time soon...and I think it is amazing. It tastes great and whenever i bring it to a friend or family get together, everyone loves it...it does take a while to make, but the directions are easy to follow and straight forward. Not only is it delicious, but it looks beautiful as well.

Since my husbands favorite is Pistacio pudding and ice cream, I thought I'd try this recipe. It was probably the best dessert I have ever made and it made a very nice presentation too. I decided to make the brownies in muffin tins and then sliced them into layers in order to make individual servings of this dessert. It worked perfectly and was so easy and nice to serve on a plate.

Very good and impressive presentation. I would like with a few more nuts in the mouse.

Very good. I would give taste a 4 but presentation is a five. I was rushed when making it, which you don't want to be, leave plenty of time. I accidently bought the milk chocolate brownie mix and it was good. Next time I'll be sure to try the fudge.

This was so good. The only time consuming part for me was shelling the pistachios. Next time I am going to double the glaze to completely cover it. This is the best dessert I have ever made. You must try it, it's devine.

Just made this for our Easter dinner. Excellent! Easy to prepare. Directions were good. The mousse and glaze stood up to overnight refrigeration for leftovers. Fortunately the 5 of us did not finish the entire torte in one sitting!

Wow, what a great dessert. I made it for a party and everyone raved. Without a doubt one of the best desserts I've served. I wish I made a second one as most people wanted seconds and it was all gone.

This recipe made me the hit of the office. We had a very special party for a bride-to-be, and I brought this Torte and everyone loved it!!! It was so elegant and delicious they all thought I had bought it, especially since I don't have a reputation for doing a lot of cooking, this was a "show stopper". And of course everyone just had to have the recipe. Thanks, I can't wait to make this for my next holiday party!
