Ingredients
- 240 ml raw almonds
- 120 ml walnuts

- 60 ml chocolate whey protein powder (divided)
- 30 ml maple syrup
- 2 ml sea salt
- 350 ml 0% fat Greek yogurt, strained

Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and 1 tablespoon of protein powder until they form a coarse meal.
- Add the maple syrup and sea salt, pulsing until the mixture sticks together when pressed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan and chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the strained Greek yogurt, the remaining 3 tablespoons of protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold the melted dark chocolate into the yogurt mixture until fully incorporated and glossy.
- Pour the chocolate filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Arrange the thin slices of blood orange and lime on top of the cake.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
- Slice with a warm knife for clean edges and serve chilled.
