Pistachio No Bake Squares
This is a Vegan gluten free recipe that tastes creamy and morish. I have used butter in this version because I don't like coconut butter. The recipe was adapted from "the green life"
Ingredients
Base
- 12 pitted dates fresh
- 1/2 cup raw pistachios
- 20 gm cacao powder / or dutch cocoa 1 Tablespoon
- 20 gm chia seeds 1 Tablespoon
- ½ tsp spirulina powder - or 2 pistachio paste
- 1 pinch sea salt
Filling
- 2 whole ripe avocados pitted
- 80 gm cashews raw
- 200 gm nutelex or coconut butter
- 65 ml non dairy milk ¼ cup
- 40 ml honey or maple syrup
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 150 gm pistachios Crushed roasted
Instructions
- You will need a small square pan 7 in or 17 cm tin and a refrigerator!
- To make the crust place the pistachios in your food processor and pulse until they are crushed and start to form a flour. Add the other ingredients and blend until everything is combined. The texture should be smooth and sticky. If the paste is too dry, add a couple dates.
- Press into the bottom of a squared pan and set aside in the fridge while you are preparing the filling.
To make the filling

- Spread the filling evenly onto your crust. Top with some crushed pistachios and cacao nibs.
