No Bake Cashew Cheese Cake Bars

Posted by Amanda Herries

Ingredients

FOR THE CRUST

1/2 cup pitted dates
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup shredded coconut

FOR THE FILLING

1 and 1/4-1/2 cup soaked cashews
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
5 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla

Recipe Cooking Instructions

1. Place all crust ingredients in a blender and pulse until they hit breadcrumb consistency. You want to be able to press this between your fingers and have it keep its shape.

2. Press crust to the bottom of your pan.

3. Place all filling ingredients in a blender. You will need to blend, re-blend, stir, re-blend, repeat until it becomes creamy. I found using my magic bullet worked better for this step then the blend tech. I am sure I food processor would work great as well!

4. Spoon filling amount into crust.

5. Freeze for 30-60 minutes, then enjoy!

Notes

You can use whatever pan you want depending on the shape and thickness you want the bars to be. Example: you can spread it out over a larger pan to give you a thinner bar, or a small circle/square pan to give you a thicker bars.
You can also make these in a muffin tin.
Use any kind of nut you want for the crust.
Make sure you soak the cashes overnight or at least a couple of hours so they will blend well.
Top with chocolate chips, fruit, cinnamon- anything that sounds good at the time!
