Preparation

Step 1

Mix the cashews in the food processor until you get a fine powder.

Then, add the all of the ingredients except the chips and pulse until a dough starts to form.

Once everything is well mixed, line an 8X8 pan with parchment paper leaving enough room for some paper to stick out the sides.

Working carefully, spoon the dough into the pan until it is spread out evenly.

The dough will be very sticky and wetting the spatula a little helps move it around better.

Once the batter is evenly spread, press down with the parchment or your spatula to pack it tight.

Sprinkle the chips over the top and gently press them in. Place in the fridge to set for a few hours.

When it’s ready, lift the whole thing out with the extra parchment paper and cut with a pizza cutter.
