Rated 5.0 stars by 1 users
Ingredients
For the crust:
-
1 cup dates pitted
-
1 cup Mandelin Natural Whole Almonds
-
2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-
2 tablespoons water
For the filling:
-
3/4 cup Mandelin Natural Roasted Almond Butter
-
2 tablespoons maple syrup
For the topping:
-
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
-
1/3 cup blueberries
Directions
In a food processor, add the dates, almonds, coconut flakes, vanilla, cinnamon, and water. Blend until a well-combined mixture forms—this will be the crust. It should be sticky to the touch.
Line an 8'X8" pan with parchment paper. Press the mixture evenly into this pan. Place in the fridge while preparing the filling.
Meanwhile, make the filling. In a food processor, blend the almond butter and maple syrup.
Evenly distribute the filling onto the crust. Top with sliced strawberries and blueberries. Press the fruit down so it sticks. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
When ready to eat, cut into 1”x1” squares. Serve frozen or let them sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Store in the freezer for up to one month.
