INGREDIENTS
SHORTBREAD BASE
150 Non-dairy butter *
75g Caster sugar
275g Plain flour
Pinch of salt
CARAMEL
200g pitted dates (220g for a firmer caramel)
150g Non-dairy butter
150g Light soft brown sugar
2 tsp Caramel flavouring (optional) (or vanilla essence perhaps)
CHOCOLATE TOP
200g Plain/Dark Chocolate (CHECK INGREDIENTS)
A sprinkle of chopped hazelnuts (optional)
OTHER STUFF
Baking dish (mine is 22x22cm OR 8.5x8.5 inches)
Baking paper
Blender
METHOD
SHORTBREAD BASE
1. Preheat oven to 180C (350F)
2. Mix the butter and sugar into a smooth paste.
3. Add the flour and salt and mix until well incorporated.
4. Roll the mixture between your thumb and fingers to make it more fine.
5. Butter or oil a baking dish and place baking paper inside. The butter/oil will hold the baking paper to the dish.
6. Pour in the shortbread mixture, even it out, press it with your fingers then a flat-bottomed glass (or similar) until it's fairly solid. Prick the top with a fork all over.
7. Put into the oven for 20 to 30 mins or until the edges start to turn golden-brown.
8. Allow to cool in the fridge.
CARAMEL
1. Chop the dates into small chunks. This makes it easier to blend them later.
2. Add all of the caramel ingredients to a saucepan. Put on a medium heat, stirring until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Just takes a couple of minutes.
3. Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until it's smooth.
4. Pour evenly onto the shortbread base, getting into all the corners.
5. Place in the fridge for around 20 mins (or until it's touch dry) before pouring the chocolate over.
CHOCOLATE TOP
1. Break the chocolate up into a bowl.
2. Put it into a microwave at half power for 30 seconds then mix. Microwave for another 15 seconds and mix. Repeat the 15 seconds, mix, 15 seconds, mix procedure until the chocolate has melted.
3. Pour the chocolate evenly over the shortbread/caramel. Use a spatula or similar to spread the chocolate evenly over the whole thing.
4. OPTIONAL: Sprinkle some chopped hazelnuts or whatever you like on top.
5. Place in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate has set.
TO CHOP
1. Use a serrated knife to make all the cuts through the chocolate first. Then use a regular knife to get through the caramel and the base. Using a regular knife on the chocolate will push down on the chocolate, causing the caramel to squeeze out.
2. Store the finished cakes in the fridge, otherwise the caramel will melt.
TIPS & NOTES
- I used 200g of dates in mine which made a squeezey gooey caramel. Use 220g for a slightly firmer consistency.
- You can freeze these. Just let them thaw in the fridge for a few hours whenever you want some.
- Be careful about getting the baking paper stuck in the shortbread mix. You don't want a mouthful of baking paper . . . do you? - Навчання та стиль

I worked hard on these videos and, as a relatively small creator, I was very proud of my (mostly good) like/dislike ratios.
Hard work and a good ratio will encourage others to watch videos which I think is great for new or small channels.
I hope you are all well. I'm doing great. Thank you for the fun times.
Love the videos and miss the uploads! Hope all is good with you 💕
@@TheEasyVegan Love your vids. This one is one of your best. Please come back ffs!
I don't know how it's possible for anyone to dislike your videos. I find them incredibly entertaining, not to mention some awesome recipes. I can't get through without smiling!
@@TheEasyVegan YOU'RE ALIVE! I'VE MISSED YOU 😭 pls make new videos. srsly my life is missing something without your videos
"I know mine is ready when I can smell the motor of my blender burning" 😂😂 too relatable
HAHA true
Good thing you mentioned that “not using a babies bottom” thing for pressing down the crust! Whew! I had a baby in a hand and ready to go
+Music & Munchies IKR, you won't believe how many times I almost made that same mistake. Stay cool :)
finally someone adressed the motor burn smell!!
yes! i thought it was just my shitty blender lol
I love that laugh you do at the end of some of the bits where: you either genuinely think your hilarious or you think you may have gone too far 😂
Katrina H really this guy needs help lol
Right! His laughing at his own antics cracks me up
It sounds like sincerity he can't hold anymore
You need to quit your job and do this full time. I look forward to your videos.
By God I'm trying :)))
what is (or were) your job besides youtube?
@@TheEasyVegan Please make more video's, my God I've been laughing! Brilliant, COME BACK!
@@TheEasyVegan Where are you? I miss you and your fun videos! :(
@@TheEasyVegan
Love your channel. Where are you nowadays? Missing the craziness
Your content is amazing! How are you not the most watched cooking channel on UA-cam???
That millionaire bread is what I aspire to be
Me too. If I had to be a bread it'd have to be a smashing millionaire one!
Same
Smell the motor on your blender burning 😂 dying 😂
I've never had so much fun watching a recipe video! I can't wait to try this! :)
Woo, hope it goes well :)
"but not a baby" loooool
Your shit blender has the same name as me, lol but that doesn't matter as you're still my favourite UA-camr ;) Another great recipe, you should write a book
BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm sorry dude. I'm sure you'd do a much better job at blending than my blender. Aaah this made me giggle. Thank you :)
Your're very welcome, haha :)) But I must really thank YOU for making me laugh with all your videos. If ever I'm down or pissed off at work, (or both), I know I can slap on one of your vids and it's guaranteed to make me smile each time. The bonus is that I'm also learning to cook great vegan food at the same time, woohoo !!
I'd buy that book but I like the creepy fridge face...
The creativity in this video.
I love it.
3:23 EVERY TIME I POUR CHOCOLATE I THINK OF THE BEGINNING OF THAT SAME MOVIE!!!
Hahaha! I'm glad I'm not the only one :)
yaaas pigeon update! thanks! great vids btw!!
I keep replaying 3:02-3:05...Those editing skills!
Amazing recipe, though I only watched to have a good laugh.
Thank you for sharing!
This was the first video of yours that I've ever watched and I LOVED it! Alrighty, off to binge watch the rest! 👋👋
Haha, enjoy :)
Your videos are MY FAVORITE. But honestly I'm going to lose sleep over the pigeon problem... it must be solved.
Hahaha. I'm sure it will have a happy ending
"If yours is smaller don't worry it's what you do with it that counts "
Just saw the teaser on Ig last night. You made my day with this. You have serious all around skills. Thanks.
Easy Vegan come, I was wrong, I just can't live without you.
We miss you so much.
While I was making lunch today, I was thinking "it's really time for a new Easy Vegan video. Does Jules have some sort of real life outside of entertaining us or something?" Much to my delight, I finished the washing up and came to my computer to find this glorious bit of food porn. Thanks for yet another wonderful video! I can't wait to try this recipe.
Hahaha. Yes, sadly my bludey real life does get in the way all too often. I'm working to change that though. Glad you like the video Sondy. I hope you like the end-product :)
Well, you're great at this so I hope you get to a point where it is feasible for you to do full time for as long as it is fun for you. The fiancé and I are working on starting a channel this year and I hope we'll be even half as fun to watch. Once I have a chance to try the recipe, I'll be sure to tag you on Instagram with the finished result!
haha. I was riveted to the screen. Looks delicious, thank you.
You are bloody hilarious! Thank you for being an awesome ambassador of veganism
Nothing gets me excited like a notification for an Easy Vegan video! Really your jokes are the most action I've gotten in a long time so this really made my week.
Yum

Your running commentary is hilarious 😂👌🏼

I love your videos. I'm not even slightly vegan, but I love them. I made your chocolate chip cookies and they were delicious

I've been watching vegan YT-channels for months now and I am APPALLED that yours has only come up in my recommendations a few days ago! I don't even do sweets at all and yet I'm watching this purely for its great entertainment value! You deserve your own tv show!
Lots of love from Germany! :D
Note to self: don't eat soup while watching your videos. I just choked. :)
I laughed so hard my mom came to check up on me. You made my day a milion times better. Huge thank you
Aaaah "a million times better" . I get it :D
it's been 84 yeaaaaars..and now finally a notification!! LEGEND
Your videos are so entertaining and also so helpful! Thank you!
I love this crazy man!!! Glorious recipe as well...
Your videos sure as hell make my day!! Can you please start uploading more often? You're hillarious man
I'm trying Hetass. Thank you :)
Actually in love with this channel
Looks so good
Poor pumpkin!😂😁☺
Oml your channel is amazing.
I think the reason your blender had trouble with the caramel sauce is because you used the milling blade meant for making things into powder? I use a nitro ulcer and Two blades like that is for making nuts etc into powder, and then there’s one with 6 blades at different angles that blends other things much better. :)
you ball references are so satisfying.
I LOOOOOVE YOUR CHANNEL, you’re the funniest, loveliest person!
Ive never subbed to a channel and shared links so fast! :D amazing stuff!
+Rachael Messer Haha. Thanks Rachael
I just love how he makes his cooking videos funny.😂

Your editing is actually so good!
