Takes

Serves 12

Ingredients
 

Base

  • 250 g cashew nuts
  • 150 g dates
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

Caramel

  • 300 g dates
  • 150 g smooth peanut butter or almond butter
  • 120 g coconut oil
  • 6-10 tbsp water

Chocolate topping

  • 300 g chocolate
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Base Layer
    In a food processor, blend the cashew nuts for 1-2 minutes until they resemble a flour-like consistency.
    Add the dates and coconut oil, and continue blending for 2-3 minutes until the mixture begins to come together.
    Line an 8-inch (20cm) springform cake tin with baking parchment. Press the base mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the tin. For easier spreading, place a sheet of baking parchment over the mixture and use the back of a spoon to press it down evenly.
  • Caramel Layer
    In the same food processor, add all caramel layer ingredients. Blend until smooth and caramel-like in texture, about 5-10 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
    Spread the caramel evenly over the base layer, aiming for a smooth top surface. Using a layer of baking parchment over the caramel and a spoon to spread it out can help achieve an even finish.
  • Chocolate Layer
    Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together using a double boiler (bain-marie) until smooth.
    Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading evenly to cover. Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.
  • Finishing Touches
    Sprinkle with coarse salt flakes for a salted caramel finish.
    Use a hot knife to slice through the cake for clean cuts without cracking the chocolate layer.
    Serve and enjoy!
