Ingredients

- 2 cups almonds
- 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Cashew Cream Filling
- 2 cups cashews, soaked 3+ hours and drained
- 1 13.5 oz coconut cream, full fat (solid part only) *see note below
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 lemons, juice and zest
- 1 cup blueberries. fresh or frozen and drained
Instructions
Base Crust
- Note: Place the can of coconut cream or milk in the fridge or freezer for at least 1-2 hours before making these bars to allow coconut cream to separate.Place paper liners in 12-cup muffin pan or use a silicon muffin mold.Start by making the crust. Pulse the almonds, honey and salt until it reaches a grainy consistency. Be careful not to over process as its nice to have texture and different sized “bits” in your base crust.Scoop a tablespoon of the base crust into each of the12 muffin liners and gently press down evenly. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
Cashew Cream Filling
- Open chilled can and scoop out the cream that has separated and set hard on the top. Save the remaining coconut water to use in a smoothie, drink, or discard.Make the filling by blending all the ingredients (except the blueberries) together until smooth. Taste test and add more honey or lemon if you think it needs it.Fill each muffin cup halfway to the top with the filling and reserve half of the filling for the blueberry layer. Shake the muffin tin to flatten the filling.Add in the blueberries to the blender with the remaining half of the filling and blend until smooth. Add on top of the muffin tins as the final layer. Gently bang the muffin tin on the counter a few times to flatten the filling.Freeze for a minimum of 3 hours. You can store these in the freezer for 3 months! Take them out 10 minutes before you want to eat them!
