METHOD
For the Chocolate Crêpes:
1. In a large bowl, sift the flours and cocoa powder. Add the salt. Make a well in the center, pour in the eggs, and whisk until the ingredients are combined.
2. Gradually add the milk and honey, stirring constantly, until a smooth and fluid mixture forms.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little oil. Pour in a small ladle of the batter, tilt the pan to spread it thinly, and cook for 1–2 minutes on one side and 30 seconds on the other. Transfer to a plate and repeat until all the batter is used.
For the Filling:
1. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with the yogurt until smooth. Add the hazelnut spread and mix until homogenized.
2. Add the cocoa powder and protein powder and mix well.
3. Place in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to firm up slightly.
For the Hazelnut Ganache:
1. Heat the milk in a small saucepan without letting it boil.
2. Remove it from the heat and add the hazelnut spread.
3. Stir until you have a smooth, glossy mixture and let it cool slightly.
1. Line a long mold or cake tin with plastic wrap. Place 3–4 crêpes on the bottom and sides, letting the edges hang over. Spread a thin layer of the filling. Spread a little filling on the crêpes and roll them up. Place the rolls in the mold in layers, drizzling a little ganache in between. When full, cover with the overhanging crêpes and the plastic wrap, pressing gently.
2. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight, until set.
3. Carefully unmold the log onto a serving platter. Drizzle with the hazelnut ganache.
For Decoration:
