heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option.

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Semi-sweet chocolate is more accessible and less expensive.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: mascarpone

Ricotta offers a lighter texture.

Heat up some heavy cream in a pot until it starts to simmer.

Chop up some dark chocolate and place it in a bowl.

Once the cream simmers, turn off the heat and pour it over the chocolate in the bowl.

Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.

Whisk the mixture until smooth and combined.

Cover the ganache with plastic wrap in direct contact to prevent a skin from forming.

Place the ganache in the fridge to cool down completely.

Blend dry cookies until fine and add chopped almonds.

Add cocoa powder to the blended cookies and almonds.

Pour in melted butter and blend again until combined.

Add 2 tablespoons of almond butter to enhance flavor, or substitute with more butter or nut butter of choice.

Butter an 8.6-inch pan well, including the sides.

Pour the crust mixture into the pan, flattening it with hands and compacting with the bottom of a glass.

Place the crust in the fridge to set.

Whip up the ganache using an electric whisk, adding a little almond milk for creaminess.

Take the crust out of the fridge and fill it with the whipped chocolate ganache, spreading it with a spatula.

Decorate the cake with fresh berries, toasted almonds, and chocolate shavings just before serving.

Ensure the cake is cold before cutting to keep the crust firm.
