Ingredients
For the bark:
- 30 g of vanilla flavoured vegan protein
- 30 g chocolate flavoured vegan protein
- 60 g almond flour
- 20 g pure cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
For the filling:
- 2 eggs
- 80 ml Greek coconut yoghurt (or unsweetened vegetable version)
- 1 tablespoon of freeze-dried decaffeinated coffee
- 20 g vanilla-flavoured vegan protein
- 150 g of quartered pecans
- 80 g bain-marie melted dark chocolate 100%
Preparation
Preparation of the bark:
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
- In a bowl, mix the proteins, almond flour, cocoa and salt.
- Add the egg and mix until a homogeneous dough is formed.
- Spread the mixture into a round or rectangular baking tin lined with baking paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the base is slightly firm.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool while you prepare the filling.
Preparation of the filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs together with the yoghurt, decaffeinated coffee and protein until smooth and evenly creamed.
- Add the melted dark chocolate and stir into the mixture with a stirring motion until a thick, pudding-like mixture is formed.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and mix lightly.
- Pour the filling over the cooled base and decorate with 100% chocolate chips or some whole nuts.
Baking and finishing:
- Bake for about 40 minutes at 180 °C. Halfway through baking (after 20 minutes), cover the surface with baking paper to prevent over-baking.
- Allow to cool completely before unmoulding; when set, the filling will take on body and a firm, creamy texture.
