Preparation Time35 min
Cooking Time35 min
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut butter
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut meat shredded
- 1 tablespoon Coco Treasure Organics Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 2 cups unsalted cashews
-
In a baking sheet, put the shredded coconut meat and spread them evenly. Toast them for about 3 minutes. After that, stir and cook for another 2 minutes until a golden-brown color is achieved. Set aside.
-
In the same baking sheet, spread the cashews and toast for about 5 minutes.
-
Now, get the toasted coconuts, cashews, cinnamon, salt, and dates and put them in a food processor. Process them until they attain a crumb-like texture.
-
Slowly add the ½ tbsp. of coconut oil and the coconut butter. Process again until the ingredients start to form a clump. If you think the texture seems dry, add another ½ tbsp. of Coco Treasure Organics Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.
-
Line your baking pan with a parchment paper. You can apply a dab of coco oil to the sides of the pan to make sure the parchment paper sticks to it.
-
Pour the mixture into the baking pan and press it until firm. Use a plastic wrap to flatten the surface. Let it freeze for about 20 minutes before slicing.
