Vegan Lime Pie Bars

Serves make 1 tray

Time 5 minutes plus soaking for 20 minutes and freezing for 2 hours

Ingredients

Base/Crust

2 cups of pecans – raw

1 cup pitted dates

⅓  cup coconut shredded

1 tsp cinnamon powder

1 tbsp avocado oil 

Top

2 cups cashews – raw

⅔ cup coconut cream – the thick stuff is required here!

½ cup maple syrup

2 tbsp avocado oil 

4 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp lime zest

1 tsp sea salt

Lime slices, to serve

Method

Soak the cashews in boiling water for 20 minutes.

To make the crust place the ingredients for crust in a food processor and pulse it until it binds together, take the mixture out – it should be like a dough - and place it in a lined pan and press down so it covers the base.

In the food processor now place the cashews (post draining the water off) with the coconut cream, avocado oil, maple syrup, lime juice and zest and the sea salt. Blitz this so it is smooth. 

In the pan pour the filling over the crust and place this in the freezer – ensure in there for more than 2 hours so it is solid.

Slice before serving and place lime slices on top.
