Ingredients
For the crust:
- 12 dates, chopped with pits removed
- 2/3 C shredded coconut
- 4 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the filling:
- 1 C cashews, soaked overnight
- 1/4 C coconut oil
- 5 Tbsp key lime juice
- 1/4 C honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Topping:
- 4 tsp coconut sugar or organic white sugar, divided
Instructions
Crust:
- Place date pieces and coconut oil in a food processor. Run the food processor until the ingredients become a sticky paste.
- Transfer mixture, along with the shredded coconut, to a small mixing bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly combine.
- Line 8 cups of a muffin pan with paper liners. Evenly divide the crust mixture among the cups and use your fingers to press the mixture along the bottom and up the sides.
Filling:
- Either using the same food processor or a high powered blender (best results), blend all of the filling ingredients together until you get a very smooth mixture resembling batter.
- Evenly divide this mixture among your 8 crusts and smooth the tops with a spoon.
- Transfer the desserts to the freezer and allow to set at least an hour.
Topping:
- Immediately before serving, remove paper and discard paper liners. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sugar on top of each individual dessert. I love the coconut sugar as a topping but I used organic white sugar because it's prettier. Using a torch, burn the sugar to your preference.
