This sounds like a fantastic recipe for St. Patrick's Day which also happens to be my birthday! My question is, if the torte sits in the freezer anywhere from 2 hours to 2 days, how long does it need to sit out before it can be eaten? There was a comment that it takes 10 minutes before it can be cut, but is it ready to eat then? Also, how will the mousse react to the freezing? I make a Mudd Pie with a real whip cream garnish. It is great when it is first put on, but after it sits in the freezer a day or two it gets real grainy and not at all tasty. I know the answer is to eat this right away, but since there are just two of us in the house, it takes us several days to finish a dessert like this. It's so hard to wait for a sample when you know this is in the freezer! Wait 10 minutes before cutting so the frozen cake is easier to slice and eat as soon as it's sliced! This recipe was tried and tested in our test kitchen and works well as written. Irene @ KAF
