Coffee-Mallow Torte image

I just got my Better Homes and Gardens magazine after not subscribing for several years. I'm kind of disappointed. Not very many recipes, lots of ads, especially perscription drug ads which I am on a personal crusade against! BUT, hold on to your hats! I wish you could see the picture of this! This was a $400 winner. I'm going to try to make it soon, but it will have to wait for a special occasion, since we are on a big fat diet after ZWT3! Cooking time is chilling time.
