Servings: 6 bars
Ingredients
Base
- 1 cup unsalted walnuts
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted (~8 dates)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Icing
- 1 1/2 cups unroasted, unsalted cashews

- 1/2 cup water/milk/yogurt*

Instructions
- Place all base ingredients in a food processor and blend until the mixture moistens and clumps into a ball. Remove and set aside.
- Blend all icing ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender until creamy.
- Pack the base into an 8×4-inch (20×10 cm) loaf pan or similarly sized container. You may line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal later.
- Spread the icing in an even layer on top.
- Refrigerate for one hour to firm up.
- Cut into bars or bite-sized chunks.
- These are delicious, both refrigerated and frozen.

Notes
-*I generally use Greek yogurt. Feel free to use plant or animal milk, regular yogurt, or even plain water. All yield a delicious icing.
