Ingredients
- 2 cups raw pistachios, shelled
- 10 pieces medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 0.333 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup rolled oats, gluten-free
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a food processor, combine 1 cup of pistachios, rolled oats, 5 dates, and 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse crumb texture.
Step 3
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 4
Press the pistachio and oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Step 5
In the same food processor (no need to clean), combine the remaining pistachios, dates, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, remaining coconut oil, and salt.
Step 6
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes, and you may need to scrape down the sides of the processor occasionally.
Step 7
Pour the pistachio cream mixture over the cooled crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. For best results, chill overnight.
Step 9
Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the dessert out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy chilled.
