Add the dates and coconut oil, and continue blending for 2-3 minutes until the mixture begins to come together. Line an 8-inch (20cm) springform cake tin with baking parchment. Press the base mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the tin. For easier spreading, place a sheet of baking parchment over the mixture and use the back of a spoon to press it down evenly. Caramel Layer In the same food processor, add all caramel layer ingredients. Blend until smooth and caramel-like in texture, about 5-10 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency. Spread the caramel evenly over the base layer, aiming for a smooth top surface. Using a layer of baking parchment over the caramel and a spoon to spread it out can help achieve an even finish. Chocolate Layer Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together using a double boiler (bain-marie) until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading evenly to cover. Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set. Finishing Touches Sprinkle with coarse salt flakes for a salted caramel finish. Use a hot knife to slice through the cake for clean cuts without cracking the chocolate layer. Serve and enjoy!

Gitte says: June 4, 2022 at 1:41 pm I made it, and everybody loved it, but the crust was too moist and didn’t seem like a seperate layer, my dates were seemed quite a bit softer, than the ones you use in the video, as far as I can see, maybe that’s the reason. Next time I will use less dates and maybe no oil in the crust or more nuts. Anyone with similar experiences? Thanks a lot for many good recepies. Found you guys just recently.

Just a small warning : if you use a tin with a smaller diameter, it will work, but you have to use less chocolate for the top (otherwise it will be hard to cut and it will be too much chocolate).
