Who doesn't love a rich and fudgey chocolate tart? If you are a fan of Optimum Nutrition's Double Rich Chocolate protein powder - then this is for you! We recommend using it for this recipe, although subbing out another chocolate protein powder may work - double rich chocolate will get you the best results. 

INGREDIENTS

CRUST:

• 1 ½ cups fine almond flour
• ½ cup walnuts (or pecans)
• 1/3 cup granulated monkfruit sweetener
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 2 tsp sesame seeds (white, black, or a mixture of both)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ¼ cup melted coconut oil

CUSTARD FILLING:

• 250 grams dark chocolate chips
• 1 ½ cups full-fat coconut cream
• 3 TBSP Optimum Nutrition Double Rich Chocolate Gold Standard Whey
• 1 TBSP pure maple syrup
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 1/3 cup tahini

Optional: Additional sesame seeds for garnish

METHOD

Prep Time: 20 Mins
Cooking time: 2-8 hours (chills in fridge to set)

• For the crust, place all ingredients except for the coconut oil in the bowl of a large food processor and mix/pulse until a sand-like consistency is reached. Then, with the food processor running, slowly drizzle the melted coconut oil into the mixture until it just starts to come together. Pour the mixture into your 8-inch tart pan and using your fingers firmly press it into the bottom & sides forming your crust. Place in the refrigerator to cool while you make your custard filling.
• To make the filling, place the chocolate chips, coconut cream & Gold Standard Whey in a saucepan over medium heat, slowly whisking until the chocolate is melted. Once melted & silky, remove from the heat and stir in the maple syrup, salt & tahini until well-combined.
• Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour in the filling. Return the entire tart to the refrigerator and chill to set for at least 2-3 hours, but preferably overnight.
• When ready to serve, garnish tart with additional sesame seeds if desired, slice & enjoy!
