  • Total Time: 2 hours 25 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Peanut Crust

  • 1 Cup (170g) natural unsalted peanuts
  • ⅓ Cup (40g) oats
  • ⅓ Cup (35g) cocoa powder
  • ½ Cup (100g) packed dates
  • ½ cup boiling water
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste

Date Caramel

  • 2 cups (400g) packed dates, pitted
  • 6 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 2-5 tablespoons dairy free cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
  • 1 cup (150g) roasted salted peanuts

Ganache Topping

  • ¾ cup (150g) vegan chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (125 ml) dairy free cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Crust: In a food processor, combine the peanuts, oats, cocoa powder, and packed dates. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Carefully add boiling water and process until combined. Add coconut oil and vanilla paste, then blend until you achieve a sticky dough consistency suitable for pressing into a tart pan.
  2. Assemble the Crust: Press the peanut crust mixture firmly and evenly into the base and slightly up the sides of a tart pan to form the tart shell. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
  3. Make the Date Caramel: In a blender or food processor, add the pitted dates, natural peanut butter, vanilla paste, and 2 tablespoons of dairy free cream. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more cream, one tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
  4. Add Roasted Peanuts: Fold the roasted salted peanuts gently into the date caramel to add texture and flavor.
  5. Fill the Tart: Spread the date caramel mixture evenly over the chilled peanut crust. Place back into the refrigerator to set and firm up.
  6. Prepare the Ganache Topping: Heat the dairy free cream over low heat until warm but not boiling. Pour the warm cream over the vegan chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  7. Top the Tart: Pour the ganache evenly over the date caramel layer, spreading gently with a spatula to cover the tart completely.
  8. Chill the Tart: Place the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the ganache topping is set and the tart is firm for easy slicing.
  9. Serve: Remove from the refrigerator 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Slice and enjoy this delicious vegan and gluten-free Snickers Tart.

Notes

  • Ensure to use soaked or very soft dates for a smoother caramel texture.
  • If desired, substitute roasted salted peanuts with unsalted and add salt to taste.
  • The tart should be stored refrigerated and is best consumed within 3-4 days.
  • Adjust dairy free cream quantity depending on desired caramel thickness.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle some chopped peanuts on top of the ganache before chilling.
