heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Prepare a crunchy biscuit base by combining eggs and honey in a bowl.

Add icing sugar, flour, a little bit of milk, baking powder, and salt to the egg mixture and combine.

Pour the mixture into a cake tin to a depth of about 3 to 4 mm.

Bake in the oven at 200°C for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, take it out, cut it into three pieces, and return it to the oven at 100°C for 30 minutes.

Whisk egg yolks and sugar for about 10 minutes until doubled in volume and lighter in color.

Whisk egg whites until they form peaks, then gradually add caster sugar and mix on low speed for 10 minutes until creamy.

Add cocoa powder and melted chocolate to the egg yolk mixture and incorporate.

Fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate base carefully to maintain air bubbles.

Pour the mixture into a baking tray and bake in the oven at 180°C for 20 minutes.
