For the fudgy base:
- Place the walnuts, oats, salt, and cacao in the food processor and process until you have a fine powder.

For the caramel filling:
- Place all ingredients in the food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed.
- Take the base out of the freezer and spread around 1 tsp of the mixture onto each cup base.
- Place back in the freezer for around 30 minutes.
For the chocolate topping:
- Melt the coconut oil before stirring in the cacao powder. Stir in the desired sweetener until thoroughly combined.
- Fill up each of the cases with chocolate and leave to cool.
