Today was the perfect time to make it, not only is it my beautiful Mum's birthday, but Toblerone is half price and strawberries are coming back in season.
The original recipe is from Delicious, however it can be found here. The first few times I made it, I followed the recipe verbatim, however now I tend to make 4 smaller rounds and add an extra layer of strawberries in the middle. Like any chocoholic I also double the Toblerone quantity. If you're feeling lazy use almond meal rather than roasting and grinding blanched almonds, it won't have the same depth of flavour but no-one will notice!

You can play around with the filling however you like. Although any type of berry is a firm favourite, i've also tried it with mango. If you don't like Toblerone, plain chocolate would work fine.
Please give this recipe a go, it really is beautiful. I can't believe it has taken me this long to blog about it!
Happy Birthday Mum!
