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.
