Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a blender or food processor, pulse the pistachios until they resemble coarse crumbs. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add almond flour, whey protein powder, and salt to the pistachio crumbs. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and knead gently until a dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan, covering the base and sides. Poke the base with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes or until it starts to lightly brown. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
For the filling, combine Greek yogurt and coconut cream in a bowl, stirring until smooth.
Once the crust is cooled, pour the yogurt and coconut cream mixture into the tart shell, spreading it evenly.
Garnish with chopped pistachios or drizzle a bit of honey on top for extra sweetness.
Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
