No cream cheese, no whipped cream, no refined sugar in the filling. And yet it tastes exactly as you hope: caramel, peanut and dark chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>This is the recipe as I make it myself \u2014 no adapted \u201chome version\u201d, just the same three layers, from a rectangular loaf tin \u2014 good for 8 slices.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:32px 0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adabakes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/snickers-cheesecake-binnenkant-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Doorsnede van een vegan snickers cheesecake reep met dadelkaramel-pindavulling\" style=\"width:100%;border-radius:12px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption style=\"font-size:.82rem;margin-top:10px;text-align:center\">This is how I make them myself: bars from a rectangular loaf tin. A round springform tin of \u00b118 cm works too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How this cake works<\/h2>\n<p>The cake consists of three layers, and none of them needs the oven:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The base<\/strong> \u2014 cashews, almonds and dates, blended to a sticky dough. The dates bind, the nuts give bite.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The caramel layer<\/strong> \u2014 the heart of the cake. Soaked dates and cashews, blended with peanut butter and soy milk to a thick, creamy date caramel. This is the layer that makes it \u201csnickers\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The ganache<\/strong> \u2014 dark chocolate melted with coconut milk. Glossy, firm in the fridge, melts on your tongue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Where it goes wrong (and how to prevent it)<\/h2>\n<p>Two things decide whether this cake works. One: <strong>really soak the dates and cashews for the caramel layer for at least 2 hours<\/strong>. Soaked too briefly means a grainy layer, however good your blender is. Two: <strong>patience between the layers<\/strong>. Each layer must be firm before the next goes on, otherwise they sink into each other. The freezer is your friend.<\/p>\n<p>Use peanut butter with 100% peanuts \u2014 no added sugar or palm oil. That really makes a difference to the taste of the caramel layer.<\/p>\n<h2>Allergens<\/h2>\n<p>This cake contains nuts, peanuts and soy. It's made without gluten-containing ingredients, but in a home kitchen it may contain traces of gluten due to environmental contact \u2014 not recommended for people with coeliac disease or severe gluten allergy.<\/p>\n<h2>Prefer ready-made?<\/h2>\n<p>Every Saturday I'm at the market in Almere, Stadhuisplein, with this cake (by the slice). Want a whole cake for a birthday or party? Then look at <a href=\"https:\/\/adabakes.nl\/en\/verjaardagstaart\/\">ordering a cake<\/a>. And if you love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, but want something for on the go: the <a href=\"https:\/\/adabakes.nl\/en\/product\/power-balletjes\/\">Choco Peanut Butter Power Balletjes<\/a> in the webshop are made from almost the same ingredients. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/adabakes.nl\/en\/product\/dubai-pistache-cheesecake\/\">Dubai Pistachio Cheesecake<\/a> \u2014 the same no-bake base, different filling \u2014 you can order online.<\/p>\n<p>Questions about the recipe?
