vegan hazelnut caramel ginger bars
There are so many potlucks, parties, and get-togethers this time of year. Sometimes, it may seem like an excuse to eat junk together. Why not be the one that separates from the pack and blows everyone’s mind with a whole food dessert? Make these vegan hazelnut caramel ginger bars and inspire even the most die-hard junk food fan to partake….and like it! Seriously, what’s not to like (unless you have a nut allergy)?
3 divine layers~ topped with candied ginger
Hazelnut ganache layer~ thick, creamy, chocolatey and dreamy!
Gooey caramel layer~ luscious, salty, and creamy
Crust layer~ chewy, delicious and brings it all together
What’s not to love about these no-bake vegan hazelnut caramel ginger bars?!
Just say NO to:
cracking eggs
turning on the oven
pulling out the electric mixer
melting butter(and waiting for it to cool)
hoping the cake will rise
Just whip up each layer individually in the food processor, pat down, or spread into your lined pan and put it in the fridge or freezer.
Next time you are the one bringing dessert, make this and no one will be disappointed!
