Instructions

Process nuts: Place almonds, cashews and coconut into food processor fitted with the S-blade and pulse until everything is chopped into small pieces. Place nut mixture in a bowl and set aside.

Process dates: Put dates into the food processor and pulse until a paste forms. The dates will probably form into a sticky ball. If they do, break about the ball a bit with your hands.

Add nuts and coconut back into the processor with the dates and pulse until well combined.

Add coconut oil, lime juice, lime zest and salt. Pulse a few more times, until they’re just incorporated.
