Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 0.333 cup slivered almonds Can substitute with more almonds or seeds for a nut-free option.
  • 0.5 cup flaked coconut Ensure it's unsweetened for a healthier treat.
  • 10 pieces pitted dates Adjust quantity to taste; must be soft for easy blending.
  • 0.25 cup cashews Try walnuts or pecans for a different flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil Helps bind the mixture together.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Blend the slivered almonds and flaked coconut in a food processor for about 1-2 minutes until it resembles a coarse meal.
  2. Add the pitted dates and pulse until well-combined, about another 1-2 minutes.
  3. Incorporate the cashews and coconut oil, pulsing until the mixture thickens and begins to stick together, roughly 1-2 minutes.
  4. Transfer the mixture onto waxed paper and form it into a square, pressing down firmly.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until solid.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage. Allow to come to room temperature before serving for best texture.
