Recipe (makes 12)

Ingredients:

Base

• 50g Almond Flour
• 100g cashews
• 60g walnuts
• 4x Biscoff biscuits
• 2 Tbsp Brown sugar
• 8 pitted dates
• Tsp vanilla extract
• Tsp agave syrup (or golden syrup)
• Tsp cinnamon

Cream

• 150g / 1.75 cups Cashews - soaked in water overnight
• 100ml full fat tinned coconut milk
• Juice of 3 limes
• Tbsp lime zest
• 4x Tbsp maple syrup
• 2x Tbsp coconut oil
• Tsp vanilla extract
• Desiccated Coconut for topping

Method:

1. Soak 150g cashews in water overnight to allow for a really creamy texture
2. Blend together all the ingredients for the base - I blended for a few mins so that there was still some crunch
3. Line an 8x8 baking tin and spread your base mixture along the bottom of this, pressing it in - place this in the freezer while you prepare the key lime cream
4. Place all ingredients for the key lime topping into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy: taste now to check if you’d like to add anymore lime / syrup
5. Spread the key lime topping over the prepared base - top with some desiccated coconut and zest then return to the freezer and allow these to set for a few hours
6. Slice + serve ( I left my slices big for photograph but cut these into 2 - yielded 12)
7. Store the bars in the freezer + when you want one remove and let sit for a few mins

These bars were so easy to whip up - definitely going to trying them again and storing them in my freezer for a handy snack or dessert 🌱👏🏼
