Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Raw pistachios
• 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut cream
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped pistachios

Directions

Step 1

Soak the raw pistachios in hot water for at least 30 minutes, then drain and rinse them. This will soften the nuts, making them easier to blend.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the soaked pistachios, coconut cream, 0.25 cup of maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set this mixture aside as the pistachio cream filling.

Step 3

In the same food processor, without cleaning it, combine the coconut oil, rolled oats, medjool dates, and salt. Blend until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed.

Step 4

Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 5

Press the oat-date mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating an even crust layer.

Step 6

Pour the pistachio cream filling over the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top of the pistachio cream for a bit of crunch and extra flavor.

Step 8

Refrigerate the squares for at least 3 hours, or until the cream layer is firm and set.

Step 9

Once set, remove the entire piece from the baking dish using the parchment paper and slice into 12 squares.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
