Sweet lime squares with lavender and bee pollen

Ethan Patterson

Report

These raw sweet lime bars with lavender and bee pollen are cool and serene like a tall glass of iced lemonade on a blistering night in late June, when the lilacs are blooming and the crickets are singing their lullabies all around you.

Instructions

Soak almonds and cashews in separate bowls for at least one hour. Drain thoroughly.
Cover a bar pan or half baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, grind almonds and coconut together until a coarse meal forms. Add remaining crust ingredients. Process until mixture holds together well, and you can form it into shapes. Press evenly on your prepared baking sheet.
Without washing your food processor, add all filling ingredients and process until mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. If mixture is too runny, add more coconut oil, one tablespoon at a time. If mixture is too hard, add water, one tablespoon at a time. Pour filling on bottom. Chill in fridge for at least 4 hours.
To serve, sprinkle lavender buds and bee pollen. Serve chilled.
