- Base:
- 1 cup oat flour
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
Cream filling:- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked for 4-6 hours
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk (canned)
- 4 Tbsp coconut butter/oil, melted
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Salted caramel:- ¾ cup full fat coconut milk
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 5 Tbsp coconut sugar
- pinch of salt
- ¾ cup peanut halves (unsalted)
Chocolate ganache:- 7oz (200g) 70% cacao vegan dark chocolate
- ½ cup coconut milk
Topping:- chopped peanuts
- drizzle of peanut butter
- sea salt
- Line a 8” (20cm) round cake tin with parchment paper on the bottom and sides.
- For the base, place the oats into a food processor/blender and pulse until floury. Add in the peanut butter and maple syrup and blend until you have a crumbly-sticky dough. Place the dough into the cake tin and press down evenly, then place in the freezer.
- Place all cream filling ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture over the base and even out, then immediately place back into the freezer for 30 minutes.
- For the caramel, place the coconut milk in a small pot over medium heat. Add in the peanut butter, coconut sugar and salt and stir together. Bring to a boil, let simmer for 30 seconds, stirring continuously, then take off the heat. Sprinkle half of the peanut halves over the cream layer, then pour the caramel on top and sprinkle the remaining peanuts on top. Even out the layer and place back into the freezer.
- Place the dark chocolate in a water bath to melt. Add in the coconut milk and stir continuously until shiny. Pour the chocolate ganache over the caramel layer and place back in the freezer to set for 4-6 hours (or overnight).
- Top with a drizzle of peanut butter, more peanuts and sea salt and serve.
Would love to pin this recipe. The website in general gives me cancer in mobile. Please optimize!
This is delicious! I made it today and my husband and I loved it! My hubby is extremely sensitive to sugar, which makes introducing desserts extremely difficult. I didn’t quite fill the tablespoon full with the maple syrup and only did 3.5 tablespoons of coconut sugar, and we honestly didn’t miss it! Thank you so much for your recipes. They are seriously helping me satisfy my sweet tooth without alienating my hubby .
oh yay! so happy you two liked it! 🙂 the sugar is totally adjustable to individual taste, but good to hear that it also came out great with less!
Hey that might be a stupid question but I never made a no-bake cake before. Do I have to keep it in the freezer or can I also leave it in the fridge once its finish?
Regards,
Francine
Not at all! You need to first freeze all raw cakes so that they firm up enough, but once frozen for 8-10 hours you can either transfer them to the fridge or leave in the freezer and take out 30 minutes to defrost before serving 🙂
Hi,
in the ingredients section it says “oat flour” whereas in the instructions section you say “place oats into the processor and blend till floury”. Do we skip this step if we have oat flour? Thanks.
yes exactly! The instructions just indicate how to make your own oat flour 🙂
I served this on thanksgiving and everyone loved it. It actually really tastes like snickers ice cream bars, which I used to love! I replaced the coconut sugar with erythritol.
Oh thank you so much for the feedback! Happy you loved it 🙂
Loved this cake and it tasted really good, however i found that after freezing the cake the chocolate ganache layer was covered in solidified coconut milk creating a waxy fatty look which Didn’t look very appetizing. I ended up scrapping the fat off and then covering the top with the peanuts..
Thanks for the feedback! That’s strange… I guess it depends on the brand. Personally I’ve never had this issue before and made this cake many time 🙂
Thanks.. next time I’m just going to try melting the chocolate with a few tablespoons of almond milk.. That’s worked for me with other desserts
Hello,
I can’t wait to make this!
Just wanted to check is the coconut milk in all sections canned rather than carton coconut milk.
Also will one cup of oats be the same amount as one cup of oat flour? Just wanted to check as usually oat flour can be thinner than rolled oats!
Thanks!
Hey! So it’s canned in all cases 🙂 and no, the oat amount differs, so 1 cup of oat flour!
