Ingredients
Layer 1 - Base:
· 1 cup oat flour⠀
· ⅓ cup Peanut Butter (You could use a thick mix of PB+ for reduced fat!)
· 2 tbs sugar-free maple syrup⠀
· A few tbs water⠀
⠀
Layer 2 - Cream filling
· 1 cup raw cashews, soaked 4-6 hours⠀
· ½ cup full-fat coconut milk⠀
· 4 tbs coconut oil, melted⠀
· 3 TBS maple syrup⠀
· 1 tsp vanilla extract⠀
· 1 scoop Plant-Based Protein+ - PB Cheesecake Flavour⠀
Layer 3 - Caramel
· ¾ cup chilled coconut milk, chilled⠀
· ½ cup peanut butter⠀
· ¾ cup dates⠀
· Pinch of salt⠀
· 1 tsp maca powder⠀
· ½ tsp vanilla extract⠀
· ¾ cup peanuts (unsalted)⠀
⠀
Layer 4 - Chocolate Topping:⠀
· 200g vegan dark chocolate⠀
Method
1. Lightly grease and line a 20cm round cake tin with parchment paper.⠀
⠀
2. For the base, place the oats into a food processor, add in the peanut butter and maple syrup and blend with a few TBS of water if required until you have a crumbly-sticky dough. Place the dough into the cake tin and press down evenly, freeze.
⠀
3. Place all cream filling ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture over the base, even out, then place back into the freezer for 30 mins.⠀
⠀
4. For the caramel, place all the ingredients (except for the peanuts) into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. 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.⠀
⠀
5. Melt the chocolate in a small saucepan on a low heat and once fully melted, pour the chocolate over the caramel layer and place back in the freezer to set for 4-6 hours.⠀
⠀
6. Top with a drizzle of extra date caramel, peanuts and whatever you want!
