NO BAKE KET LIME PIE BARS

They’re like a creamy frozen treat that are bright, refreshing, flavorful and so good!

And GUESS WHAT? they require no baking, are vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and totally delicious! They can also be made with lemon if you don’t have lime. ⠀

INGREDIENTS (FOR 16 BARS)

for the crust:

¾ cup rolled oats

½ cup pecans

1 cup dates (about 10)

1 tablespoon coconut oil ⠀

for the filling:

1 ½ cups raw cashews, soaked for 30 minutes in boiled water

Juice of 3 limes (¼ cup + 2 tablespoons; sub lemons)

Zest of 3 limes (sub lemons)

2 tbsp maple syrup (sub honey or sweetener of choice )

1 tbsp coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla essence ⠀

INSTRUCTIONS:

- Add the oats, pecans, dates and coconut oil into a food processor or high-speed blender. Process until obtaining a sandy, sticky texture. Transfer this into a parchment-lined 8x8 baking pan. Press firmly into the bottom to create a crust.

- Add the soaked cashews, lime juice and zest, syrup, coconut oil and vanilla into a high- speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

- Pour the filling over the crust and freeze for at least 4 - 6 hours, preferably overnight.

- When ready to serve, allow to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes, then slice. Store in the freezer and enjoy! The bars will keep in the freezer for up to a week so they are a great make-ahead dessert
