ingredients
- 1/2 cup pistachios
- 1/3 cup walnuts
- 2/3 cup desiccated coconut
- 1 1/2 cups pitted dates
- 4 1/4 cups raw cashews, soaked 4-5 hours, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup coconut yogurt
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 4 packets frozen dragon fruit
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
Method
Step 1
Add pistachios, walnuts and coconut to a food processor and pulse to form an even crumb. Add dates and pulse until you have a sticky dough. Press base into a lined 8 x 8-inch pan and freeze while you make the filling.
Step 2
Place cashews into a high speed blender with coconut milk, coconut yogurt and 1/4 cup maple syrup. Blend until smooth and pour onto the base. Freeze for a few hours.
Step 3
To make the dragon fruit jam, place fruit and 2 tablespoons maple syrup into a small saucepan, on low, gently heat until dragon fruit has thawed. Mash the fruit with the back of a spatula. Add chia seeds, stir, pour into a jar and refrigerate for a few hours until it thickens.
Step 4
Remove bars from the freezer and spread a thick layer of jam on top. Freeze for a few hours or overnight. Before serving, take it out of the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes before slicing.
