Preparation

Step 1

Combine the ingredients for the cashew filling in the blender. Use the tamper tool to move the cashews around in the blender to ensure even and thorough combining. Blend until completely smooth.

In a food processor combine the ingredients for the crust and pulse until the mixture breaks down and forms small granules that stick together.

Line a 8 X 4-inch pyrex pan with parchment paper. Then add the crust mixture, spread it out evenly in the pan, and then press down.

Evenly spread the cashew filling over the crust and smooth down.

Add the raspberry preserves or fresh fruit in over the cashew filling.

To make the coconut whipped cream take a can of chilled full fat canned coconut milk (I use Thai Kitchen brand) and scrape the solid cream off the top. Put the coconut cream in a bowl with the vanilla and Stevia then ship with an electric mixer until smooth.

Top the bars off with whipped coconut cream, cashew pieces, and arrowroot powder for powdered sugar effect.
