Ingredients

For the crust

  • 1 ¼ cup shredded coconut
  • 11-12 dates pitted
  • 1 ½ tbsp coconut oil melted

For the filling

  • 1 ½ cup coconut cream I highly recommend this brand
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 6 tbsp lime juice
  • Zest of one lime
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot starch
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tbsp gelatin

For topping

  • Fresh lime zest
  • 1-2 sliced limes for garnish optional

Instructions

For the crust

  • Prepare a 9x9" baking pan by lining with parchment paper and setting side.
  • If the dates are hard, soak in warm water for 5 minutes to soften. Drain the water.
  • Combine the shredded coconut, dates, and coconut oil in a food processor and blend until fully combined.
  • Press the crust into the baking pan by pressing down with your hands. Spread to evenly disperse. Set aside.

For the filling

  • Combine the coconut cream, coconut oil, honey, lime zest and lime juice in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Stir in the arrowroot starch and whisk to avoid any clumps from forming.
  • Add the water to a small pot and sprinkle the gelatin over top. Set aside for 2-4 minutes to harden. Move to the stove top and set the stove to low heat to allow the gelatin to melt over 1-2 minutes. The mixture should be fully liquid. Remove from the stove top and whisk vigorously until frothy.
  • Stir the gelatin mixture into the coconut cream mixture and stir well to combine.
  • Pour the filling over the crust and place in the refrigerator to harden for 6-8 hours.
  • Remove from the fridge and carefully slice into 9 bars and top with lime zest, and lime slices for garnish if desired. Serve chilled.
