Process the almonds, dates, and dark chocolate in a food processor until combined but still with some texture, pulsing gently.

In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites with a pinch of salt until fluffy and stiff peaks form.

Once the egg whites are fluffy, gradually add sugar while continuing to whisk until fully incorporated.

Fold the processed almond mixture into the egg whites gently, bit by bit, to maintain the airiness of the egg whites.

Pour the mixture into a 23 cm springform tin.

Bake in the oven at 180°C (356°F) for 45 minutes.

After baking, let the torte cool in the oven to prevent cracking.
