Ingredients




1/8 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup + 2 tbsps. coconut butter
2/3 cup unsweetened coconut meat shredded
1 tablespoon Coco Treasure Organics Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
1 cup pitted dates
2 cups unsalted cashews

Preparation

1 In a baking sheet, put the shredded coconut meat and spread them evenly. Toast them for about 3 minutes. After that, stir and cook for another 2 minutes until a golden-brown color is achieved. Set aside. 2 In the same baking sheet, spread the cashews and toast for about 5 minutes. 3 Now, get the toasted coconuts, cashews, cinnamon, salt, and dates and put them in a food processor. Process them until they attain a crumb-like texture. 4 Slowly add the ½ tbsp. of coconut oil and the coconut butter. Process again until the ingredients start to form a clump. If you think the texture seems dry, add another ½ tbsp. of Coco Treasure Organics Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. 5 Line your baking pan with a parchment paper. You can apply a dab of coco oil to the sides of the pan to make sure the parchment paper sticks to it. 6 Pour the mixture into the baking pan and press it until firm. Use a plastic wrap to flatten the surface. Let it freeze for about 20 minutes before slicing. 7 You can serve the bars in fancy wraps or as is.
