If you are going to make a brownie, you might as well make it a three-layer one 🍫 Pamela Higgins created this beauty, a fudgy sweet potato base sweetened with Natvia Gut Activation Sweetener, a creamy pistachio middle packed with roasted nuts and a smooth chocolate top. It keeps well in the fridge and slices cleanly, which makes it just as good made the day before as it is fresh.

For the pistachio layer

METHOD
1. Preheat your oven to 180C (fan 160C). Grease and line a 23cm square baking tin.
2. Blend all brownie base ingredients until thick and completely smooth. Spoon into the prepared tin and smooth the surface.
3. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the top feels firm. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
4. Melt the coconut oil and white chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over a bain-marie or in the microwave in short bursts. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
5. Stir in the pistachio cream, protein powder and cream cheese. Fold through the chopped pistachios.
6. Spread the pistachio layer evenly over the cooled brownie base. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
7. Mix the cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, Natvia Gut Activation Sweetener (AU) / Natvia Synbiotic Sweetener (UK) and cream cheese. Add water a little at a time until the mixture is spreadable.
8. Spoon the chocolate top over the pistachio layer and spread to cover. Scatter extra chopped pistachios over if you like.
9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until fully set, then remove from the tin and slice into 9 pieces.
