This is another recipe along the lines of my Larabar inspired recipes I posted last year – My Larabar inspired raw bars and balls.
Super easy to make and they taste fabulous. I love the freshness of lime and these bars have a lovely distinct lime flavour.
I package mine up straight away and put them in the freezer to make sure I don’t eat too many at a time.
Raw key lime pie bars
Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cup cashews
- ¾ cup almonds
- 2 ½ cup dates
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- Zest and juice of 1 small lime
Method:
- Place almonds, cashews and dates into the food processor and blend. Blend for a few minutes, scrape the mixture from down the sides of the food processor and blend again. Do this a couple of times until the mixture is soft and sticks together. Do not over process though, as you will end up mixture that is too runny.
- Add the lime juice and lime zest and process again.
- Add shredded coconut to the food processor and pulse until combined.
- Press the lime mix into a lined small-medium baking tray and place in the fridge for a couple of hours. Once the mixture has set cut with a sharp knife into your desired size.
Notes:
Bars are best stored in the fridge and they can be frozen as well. Simply take them out of the freezer about 15 before you want to eat them.
