Ingredients

  • For the Base

  • 1/2 cup Quaker® Oats-Old Fashioned
  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut (desiccated)
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup dried figs
  • 1/2 cup dates
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • For the Cream

  • 1/2 cup cashews (hydrated overnight)
  • 1/2 cup almond/coconut milk blend
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (desiccated)
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • For Topping (optional)

  • 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut (desiccated)

Cooking Instructions

  • For the base:

  • In a food processor, blend all the ingredients until it becomes a dough that is sticky when pressed with your fingers.
  • Grease a 18x27cm baking sheet with coconut oil or use parchment paper.
  • Press the dough into the bottom of the sheet until it is very “compact”. Refrigerate.
  • For the cream:

  • In a food processor or blender, pulse the hydrated and strained cashews for about 3 minutes.
  • Add the almond/coconut milk blend and honey and mix until you get a homogeneous cream.
  • Add the shredded coconut and beat a little more just to combine.
  • Pour the cream over the base, sprinkle the remaining shredded coconut on top and take it back to the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • Cut into rectangles and keep refrigerated (if you prefer, pack them individually and freeze).
  • Enjoy!
