Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups walnuts, chopped
1 cup shredded coconut, or coconut flakes
1 cup pitted date
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 splash water
1 pinch sea salt
2 ¼ cups raw cashew
½ cup key lime juice
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
lime zest
⅓ cup coconut oil
shredded coconut, or coconut flakes, for garnish

Steps:

  • The night before you intend to make your key lime bars, place cashews in a bowl of water and let soak overnight.
  • Add walnuts, coconut, dates, vanilla extract, water, and salt to a food processor or blender and pulse until sticky mounds begin to form.
  • Press the crust into an 8x8-inch (20x20-cm) freezer-safe, parchment paper-lined pan.
  • Drain the cashews well and add to the food processor. Blend until smooth.
  • Scrape down the sides of the processor and add lime juice, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lime zest.
  • Blend until smooth, adding the coconut oil halfway.
  • Spread the mixture on top of your crust and garnish with more lime zest and coconut.
  • Cover with foil and freeze for 3 hours or until set.
  • Remove from freezer, slice, and serve.
  • Enjoy!
