Preparation
- The night before you intend to make your key lime bars, place cashews in a bowl of water and let soak overnight.
- Add walnuts, coconut, dates, vanilla extract, water, and salt to a food processor or blender and pulse until sticky mounds begin to form.
- Press the crust into an 8x8-inch (20x20-cm) freezer-safe, parchment paper-lined pan.
- Drain the cashews well and add to the food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Scrape down the sides of the processor and add lime juice, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lime zest.
- Blend until smooth, adding the coconut oil halfway.
- Spread the mixture on top of your crust and garnish with more lime zest and coconut.
- Cover with foil and freeze for 3 hours or until set.
- Remove from freezer, slice, and serve.
- Enjoy!
