Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 c cashews
  • ½ c cacao powder
  • 1 c dates
  • c raisins
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 ½ c shredded coconut

Instructions

  • Blend the cashews in a food processor to a fine flour, then add cacao powder, dates, raisins, coconut oil, vanilla and salt, and blend until sticky (you can add 1 tablespoon of water if it's not sticking).
  • Add shredded coconut and pulse until combined, then press into a lined or silicon loaf tin, and pop in the freezer for 1 hour to set. Or, bake them for 8 minutes at 120°C fan bake if you want to bring out a more toasted coconut flavour.
  • Slice into bars, and store in the freezer for a super chewy bar, or fridge for a softer bar. Will keep for 2 months in the freezer, or fridge for 2 weeks.

Notes
