Ingredients
  

Base:

  • 150 g ground almonds
  • 1 tbsp Demerara sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 75 g butter

Filling:

  • 100 g millet
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 375 ml water
  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • 1 tbsp cocoa
  • 2 eggs separated
  • 70 ml sunflower oil
  • 3 tbsp Demerara sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • raspberries to decorate

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl mix ground almonds, salt, cinnamon and sugar.
  • Cut butter into small pieces, add to the dry mixture and work with your fingers through, till it resembles small crumbs.
  • Put the crumbs together to form a ball.
  • Grease sides of a 20 cm round baking tin and put a greaseproof paper on the bottom.
  • Working with your fingers spread the almond dough on the bottom of the tin and raise it slightly (1.5-2 cm) on the sides.
  • Put the base in a fridge for 10-15 minutes and start preheating an oven to 175 Celsius degrees.
  • Put the millet in a frying pan and start heating it up (dry) till it releases the aroma.
  • Transfer the millet to a pot; pour boiling water mixed with salt and after it reaches the point of boiling, cook gently for 15-20 minutes till the millet absorbs the water and is soft.
  • Put the base to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • When the millet is cooked but still hot add the chocolate broken into small pieces, stir well till it melts.
  • Put the chocolate millet, oil, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, vanilla and egg yolks into a food processor and process it till the mixture is smooth.
  • Whisk the egg whites till stiff and add half to a bowl with the chocolate mixture, stir gently and then repeat with the other half.
  • Spread the mixture gently over the baked almond base and put raspberries on top, pressing them down gently.
  • Bake for 30 min.
