Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 2 cups raw almonds
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1/3 cup sugar-free confectioners sweetener
For the Filling:
  • 3 cups raw cashews soaked overnight
  • 1 cup key lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lime zest
  • 1 1/3 cups full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar-free confectioners sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Almond Crust - In your food processor, combine the raw almonds, melted coconut oil, and sugar-free confectioners sweetener. Pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Make sure to create an even layer for a consistent crust.
  2. Step 2: Blend the Cashew Filling - Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. In the same food processor, add the cashews, key lime juice, lime zest, full-fat coconut milk, sugar-free confectioners sweetener, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Step 3: Assemble the Bars - Pour the cashew filling over the prepared almond crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  4. Step 4: Chill the Bars - Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set. For best results, let it chill overnight.
  5. Step 5: Serve and Enjoy - Once set, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into squares and serve chilled. Garnish with extra lime zest or a dollop of whipped coconut cream if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure to soak the cashews overnight for a creamy texture.
  • Keep an eye on the measurements, as too much liquid can affect the setting.
  • Chill overnight for the best results.
