Peanut Butter Dream

Tue, 24 February 2026

Peanut Butter Dream

It’s got a Biscoff biscuit base, a silky peanut butter creamy “cheesecake” centre, and a glossy peanut butter chocolate ganache on top.

No baking. No dairy. No eggs. Just layers of pure peanut butter mischief.

It’s indulgent, dramatic, and perfect for viewers looking for a plant-based dessert that doesn’t compromise on flavour (or attitude).

 

 

Meet The Cast:

The Bottom (Crunchy. Salty. Solid.)

160g Biscoff biscuits

50g melted plant-based butter

1 tbsp peanut butter

Pinch sea salt

The foundation. The dependable one. Holds everything together like a good fire crew.

 

 

The Middle (Silky. Smooth. Dangerous.)

100g soaked cashews

400g plant-based cream cheese

60g vegan Greek-style yogurt

125g peanut butter

60ml pure maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

This is where the magic happens. Creamy, rich, unapologetically peanut buttery.

 

 

The Top (Glossy. Decadent. Show-off.)

60g 70% dark chocolate

60g peanut butter

Melted together and poured over like a satin jacket on a Saturday night.

Optional drama: crushed peanuts or peanut butter cup pieces.

 

 

How We Do It:

 

Prep the Cashews

Soak for 4 hours (or overnight). In a rush? Simmer 30 mins, drain, cool.

 

Line a 2 lb loaf tin with parchment paper, leave it over hanging the tin at the sides so you can use as a sling to lift it out of the tin.

 

The Bottom

Blitz biscuits to crumbs.

Add melted butter, peanut butter, salt. Blitz again.

Press firmly into tin. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins .

 

The Middle

Blitz everything until smooth and silky in a high speed blender.

Pour over base.

Chill minimum 6 hours (overnight is best or if in a real rush lob it into the freezer for a couple of hours .

 

The Top

Melt chocolate and peanut butter in a bowl on a pan over gentle heat.

Pour, spread, top with crunch.

Freeze 15–30 mins to firm.

 

Serving The Beast

 

Heat a sharp knife in hot water, wipe, slice a slice and clean the knife and repeat for each slice.

 

Keeps 5 days in fridge.

Freezes beautifully.

Defrost overnight and pretend you made it fresh that day.

It’s rich. It’s plant-powered. It’s peanut butter heaven in loaf form.
