Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 pitted Medjool dates
  • 1½ cups coconut flakes
  • 1½ cups walnuts
  • Heaping ¼ teaspoon of sea salt
  • 1½ cups raw cashews
  • ½ cup full-fat coconut milk (more for topping)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon matcha
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt


Instructions

  1. Start by lining a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. If your dates are a bit firm, soak them in warm water for 5 to 10 minutes, then pat them dry. In a food processor, combine the softened dates, coconut, walnuts, and salt. Pulse until the mix sticks together when pinched.
  3. In a high-speed blender, blend the cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, matcha, vanilla, and salt until it’s smooth and creamy.
  4. Press the date mixture firmly into the pan, then spread the matcha mix on top. Add a few dots of coconut milk and swirl with a toothpick.
  5. Freeze for 8 hours or overnight. Once frozen, slice into bars. If they’re too chilly, let them thaw a bit before enjoying. Deliciousness awaits!
