Equipment

  • Springform pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 chocolate cake (in a 7-inch springform pan)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream, lukewarm
  • 6 oz bag of salted peanuts
  • 16 oz mascarpone

  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 Snickers bar
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Cut the cake in half horizontally and put the bottom half in a springform pan.
  • Caramelize the sugar in a pot until golden brown and add the cream. Stir both ingredients together until well blended and then stir in the peanuts. Let the mixture cool down before pouring over the cake base.
  • To make the peanut cream, add the mascarpone and peanut butter to a large bowl, followed by the powdered sugar, corn starch, and sugar. Grate a Snickers bar over the ingredients and then mix everything together.
  • Spread the peanut cream over the peanut caramel layer, place the top half of the chocolate cake on top, and refrigerate the cake for an hour. Then remove the cake from the pan.
  • To prepare the chocolate glaze, melt the milk chocolate and peanut butter together and stir well. Pour the glaze evenly over the cake and garnish with 2 Snickers bars cut into small pieces.
