Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almonds
- 12 whole Medjool dates, pitted
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 cup Desiccated coconut
- 1.5 cups Cashews, soaked overnight and drained
- 0.75 cup Coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or erythritol
Instructions
Line a square 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing extra to hang over the edges for easy removal.
In a food processor, combine almonds, dates, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, ground ginger, and desiccated coconut. Pulse until the mixture is fine and sticky.
Press the dough evenly into the lined baking pan to form the base. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the topping.
In the same food processor (no need to clean), add the soaked cashews, remaining coconut oil, coconut cream, fresh ginger, vanilla extract, and stevia or erythritol.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure a consistent texture.
Pour the creamy mixture over the chilled base in the pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
Chill in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until set.
Once set, remove from the pan using the overhanging parchment paper and cut into slices.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
