Salted Caramel Chocolate Pots

Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate Pots Recipe
  • We use small 100ml (3.5 fl.oz) jars, and the contents fit perfectly inside without leaving loads of leftovers.
  • You’ll also want to work fairly quickly after you’ve created the chocolate layer to prevent the chocolate cooling down.
  • The trick is to get all your caramel ingredients ready, so all you need to do is drain the dates and throw them in the blender along with everything else.
  • We also like to leave these out for at least 15 minutes, or ideally longer, at room temperature before serving. This helps to soften the chocolate so it’s extra creamy and mixes into the salted caramel when you attempt to get a big spoonful of it all.
  • Our biscuit of choice is ginger biscuits. They add a slightly spicy kick to your first bite.
  • Without the toppings these pots will keep in the fridge for 3–5 days.

Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate Pots Recipe

Salted Caramel Chocolate Pots

Serves: 4 pots Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 20 minutes 20 minutes
Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate Pots Recipe For the caramel layer:

  • 8 dates, pitted (we use Medjool)
  • 60ml / 2 fl.oz tinned coconut milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the chocolate layer:

  • 150g / 5.3oz dark chocolate
  • 200ml / 6.7 fl.oz tinned coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the toppings:

  • salt
  • crushed biscuits

Method

  1. Add the dates to a bowl and cover with hot water from a kettle. Leave to soak while you complete the next step.
  2. Next start creating the chocolate layer. Break the dark chocolate into small pieces directly into a mixing bowl, then leave to one side. Add the coconut milk to a saucepan over a low-medium heat, bring it to a gentle simmer, then remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the hot coconut milk over the chocolate. Give it a really good stir to combine the chocolate and coconut milk, then stir in the cocoa powder, maple syrup and vanilla extra until it reaches a smooth consistency. Leave to one side.
  3. Working quite quickly, drain the dates and add them to a fast-powered blender. Add the coconut milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup and salt, and blend until smooth. Alternatively you can use a handheld blender.
  4. Using a teaspoon, distribute the caramel layer evenly into the bottom of the pots. Give them a shake to flatten the layer of caramel. Next, again using a teaspoon, distribute the chocolate layer evenly into the pots until all the chocolate is used up or the pots are completely full. Leave to cool at room temperature, then leave the pots to cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  5. 15 minutes before you're ready to serve, remove the pots from the fridge and sprinkle some salt and crushed biscuits on top. Wait for the chocolate to soften slightly, then serve. They'll also keep in the fridge for 3-5 days.

They look awsome! How long can can you keep them in the fridge and can you freeze them in case you want to prepare in advance?

Reply
Ben, So Vegan June 28, 2020 - 6:43 pm

Thanks Toni! These will last 3-4 days in the fridge but make sure you cover them. It’s also fine to freeze them!

It may be early, but given that we’re still all locked down with nothing better to do, I’m planning Xmas menus! This is definitely going on the list.

I can’t wait to try these! Is there a substitute I can use instead of maple syrup… Maybe some sugar? Also do you use only the fat part of the coconut milk or the water too? Also where did you get these cute little jars from? Sorry for the million questions!

Reply
Ben, So Vegan June 28, 2020 - 6:45 pm

Hey Tina! You could try using sugar instead, but the consistency will be different so you might need to add a touch more coconut milk (i.e. 1 tbsp in each layer). If the coconut milk has separated in the tin, simply stir it first to make sure it’s fully mixed because you’ll need the fat and the water parts. We ordered these jars online! Good luck 🙂

Does it have to be full fat coconut milk? Only have half in the fridge!
