Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 scoop whey protein powder (unflavored, or chocolate for extra richness)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or granulated sugar of choice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup greek yogurt
- 1 scoop chocolate protein supplement
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, whey protein powder, cocoa powder, erythritol or sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add melted coconut oil and one egg to the dry mixture. Stir until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and form a dough.
Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, ensuring even thickness.
Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until set and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring heavy cream to a simmer but do not boil.
Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute then whisk until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the second egg, vanilla extract, greek yogurt, and chocolate protein supplement.
Slowly incorporate the melted chocolate mixture into the yogurt mixture, stirring constantly until smooth.
Pour the chocolate filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Serve chilled or room temperature, garnished with fruit or whipped cream if desired.
