⁠
Grab the recipe below👇⁠
⁠
✨Crust Ingredients⁠
2 cups all-purpose flour (we used gf flour)⁠
1 cup vegan butter⁠
1/2 cup maple syrup⁠
2 tsp vanilla extract⁠
1/2 tsp salt⁠
⁠
✨Lemon Bar Ingredients⁠
1 cup Native Forest Organic Simple Coconut Milk*⁠
1/2 cup soaked cashews*⁠
1/2 cup lemon juice⁠
2 tsp lemon zest⁠
1/2 cup maple syrup⁠
1/2 cup granulated sugar⁠
1 tsp vanilla extract⁠
1/3 cup cornstarch⁠
pinch of salt⁠
pinch of turmeric (optional, for color)⁠
⁠
*Coconut cream: refrigerate a can of coconut milk overnight. Then when you open the can, scoop out just the solid part that has formed on the top & measure out one cup of this.⁠
⁠
*Cashews: soakcashews overnight in water ⁠
⁠
✨Directions⁠
Start by prepping the crust. Combine all crust ingredients in a large bowl & mix.⁠
⁠
Line a square baking pan with parchment paper & grease with oil.⁠
⁠
Transfer the crust ingredients to the baking pan & press them down into an even layer.⁠
⁠
Bake the crust for 15-20 min at 350*F, unti edges of crust are golden brown.⁠
⁠
Use a fork to poke holes all around the baked crust. Don’t poke all the way to the bottom of the crust, just about halfway.⁠
⁠
To make the filling, combine the coconut cream, cashews, lemon juice & zest, maple, sugar, vanilla, cornstarch, salt, and turmeric to a blender. Blend until smooth.⁠
⁠
Transfer lemon filling to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously & cook for 4-6 minutes, until mixture starts to significantly thicken.⁠
⁠
Once it has thickened, pour it on top of crust & level the top.⁠
⁠
Refrigerate bars overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours, until the filling hardens fully.⁠
⁠
Once they are ready, slice, dust powdered sugar on top, & enjoy!⁠
