How to Prepare 5 Layer No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

For the Base:

  • Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until a sticky dough forms.
  • Remove dough from the food processor and press firmly into a paper-lined loaf tin until a flat layer forms, about 1 cm thick.
  • Place pan in the fridge to allow the base to harden.

For the Date Layer:

  • Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until a large clump forms.
  • Remove from the food processor and gently press onto the bottom peanut base, being careful not to push the peanut base out to the sides too much.
  • Return pan to the fridge.

For the Chocolate Layer:

  • In a saucepan, over medium heat, add coconut oil, cacao, maple syrup and milk.
  • Whisk until all the ingredients are melted and smooth.
  • Meanwhile, add coconut flour and flax to a medium bowl and stir to combine.
  • Add chocolate mixture to coconut flour and add in water one tablespoon at a time until the dough sticks together in one clump.
  • Set aside.

For the Chocolate Topping:

  • Add coconut cream, agave and cacao to a food processor and blend until a thick, chocolate mousse forms.
  • Place in the fridge until ready to use so it will stay thick.

For the Assembly:

  • Once base and date layer have been assembled, spread a layer of peanut butter or other nut butter of your choice over the date layer.
  • Next, press chocolate coconut mixture on top of nut butter, in an even layer.
  • Finally, finish by spreading on the chocolate topping, leveling evenly, using a spatula.
  • Place the entire cake in the fridge and let set for 2-3 hours until hardened.
