Preparation time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

For the crust:

6 tbsp powdered stevia

4 tbsp all-purpose flour

2 tsp cocoa

1 tsp baking powder

½ cup dark chocolate, melted

½ cup milk

For the chocolate filling:

1 cup dark chocolate, melted

2 tbsp almonds, finely chopped

2 tbsp hazelnuts, finely chopped

2 x 40-gram scoop Blackbelt Whey Protein Concentrate Chocolate

3 tsp cocoa powder, unsweetened

2 cups whipping cream

5 tbsp all-purpose flour

¾ cup powdered stevia

¾ cup butter, melted

For topping (optional):

1 cup white chocolate flakes

½ cup dark chocolate flakes

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two 8-inch round pans with some parchment paper and set aside.

First, prepare the crust. In a large mixing bowl, combine stevia, flour, cocoa and baking powder. Mix until well incorporated. Gradually, add melted chocolate and milk. Beat well with a hand mixer on high for 3 minutes. Divide the mixture in half and pour into prepared pans. Bake for 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and chill to a room temperature.

Now, prepare the chocolate filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine chocolate, almonds, hazelnuts, protein powder, cocoa, whipping cream, and butter. Stir well until combined and then add flour and stevia. Beat well to get a smooth batter.

Pour half of the mixture over the first crust and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Remove from the refrigerator and top with the remaining crust. Pour in the remaining chocolate filling and sprinkle with chocolate flakes.

Chill completely before serving.
