No-Bake Millionaire’s Shortbread
We tried this on some of our long-term supporters and they said it is one of the nicest things they’ve ever eaten! Considering how healthy this recipe is it really shouldn’t taste this good – but we’re delighted it does!

Ingredients
Base
- 150g unsalted cashew nuts
- 50g rolled oats
- 4 Medjool dates, pitted
- 50g coconut oil, melted (use odourless/culinary if you don’t want a coconutty taste)
Caramel layer
- 300g Medjool dates, pitted
- 80g nut butter (we like almond butter)
- 5 tbsp unsweetened plant milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp syrup
Chocolate topping
- 60g coconut oil (use odourless/culinary if you don’t want a coconutty taste)
- 40 cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp syrup (eg maple or agave)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Base
- Grease and line a 20cm square cake tin.
- Using a food processor, blitz the nuts and oats to crumbs. Add the dates and melted coconut oil and blend again. Spoon the mixture evenly into the tin, covering the entire base and press down. Chill in the freezer while you make the filling.
Caramel layer
- Using a food processor or high-speed blender, blend all the ingredients until smooth. Spread this layer evenly over the base and return to the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Chocolate topping
- In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil on a low heat. Add all the other ingredients to the pan and heat for a few minutes until combined, stirring frequently. Pour the chocolate layer over the caramel then place in the fridge to set for 2 hours minimum.
- Cut into squares, share and enjoy!

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.
