Chocolate Walnut

Does anyone have a twenty year old recipe for a Chocolate Ground Walnut Flourless torte?

This torte was in one of those Bon Apettit or Gourmet Magazine type magazines – from about 20 years ago….
I love to surprise my husband with a blast from the past.
thanks
It uses Ground Walnuts in place of flour…thanks
