Yields: 9-12 bars Prep time: 20 minutes (+ overnight soaking) Freeze time: 3 hours

📌 Ingredients

Crust:

1 cup walnuts
½ cup HempCo hulled hemp seeds
1 cup shredded coconut or coconut flakes
1 cup pitted dates
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Splash of water
Pinch of sea salt

Lime Layer:

2 ¼ cups raw cashews
½ cup lime juice
¼ cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lime
⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
Shredded coconut or coconut flakes, for garnish

Equipment:

Food processor or high-powered blender
8x8 inch freezer-safe pan
Parchment paper

📌 Directions

Soak: Place cashews in a bowl of water and let them soak overnight.
Make the crust: Add walnuts, hemp seeds, coconut, dates, vanilla extract, water, and salt to a food processor or blender. Pulse until a sticky dough forms.
Press: Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 8x8 inch pan.
Make the lime layer: Drain the soaked cashews and add them to the food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Flavour: Add the lime juice, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lime zest to the cashews. Blend until well combined and smooth, adding the melted coconut oil halfway through.
Assemble: Spread the lime mixture evenly over the crust.
Garnish: Sprinkle with additional shredded coconut and lime zest.
Freeze: Cover the pan with foil and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until the bars are firm.
Enjoy: Cut into squares and savour the zesty, tropical goodness!

Tips:

For a richer lime flavour, add an extra tablespoon of lime juice to the filling.
If you don't have a food processor, a high-powered blender can be used, but you may need to scrape down the sides occasionally to ensure everything is well combined.
These bars can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
