Ingredients

Crust

• 2/3 cup cashews
• 3/4 cup shredded coconut
• 1/3 cup well packed dates, chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons water

Filling

• 1 2/3 cup diced and packed ataulfo mango
• 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 cup cashews
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar
• 2 1/2 tablespoons passionfruit powder

Lime Swirl

• 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons coconut cream powder
• 1 drop of stevia

Instructions

Crust

Grind the cashews, coconut, and dares in a food processor. Add the water and process briefly to combine. Press into the bottom of an 8×8″ pan.

Filling

Blend all but the coconut oil until completely smooth and creamy. Add the oil and blend to incorporate. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the filling and transfer it to a bowl.

Lime Swirl

Add all ingredients to the remaining filling in the blender, adding a bit of spirulina at a time to achieve the colour you desire.

Assembly

Pour large blobs of HALF of the mango filling over the crust. Pour a few smaller blobs of the lime filling in between. Swirl the two together with a chopstick. Pour the remaining mango and lime fillings as blobs on top and swirl again with a chopstick. Chill in the freezer for 4-6 hours and then transfer to the fridge for 12 hours. Slice into bars.
