Servings: persons

the crust
1/2 cup roughly chopped brazil nuts
1 cup roughly chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped dried apples (it helps to soak for 15 minutes in warm water)
1/2 cup chopped dried figs (it helps to soak for 15 minutes in warm water)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
the filling
2 cups cashews, soaked overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours
1/4 cup nut or dairy-free milk (here I used soy)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil, slightly melted
2 medium bananas (around 1 cup chopped)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1
To make the crust, place the nuts, apples, dates, and salt in a food processor.
2
Pulse a few times to start the pie dough, and then allow the machine to run for a few minutes until the dough comes together.
3
Press the crust into a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) greased casserole dish. (I used coconut oil.)
4
Set aside.
5
To make the filling, add all of the ingredients to the food processor.
6
Blend until completely creamy. You should scrape down the sides of the food processor occasionally to ensure that all of the mixture is blending well.
7
Pour the filling on top of the crust.
8
Smooth out the top, and store allow the cake to sit in the freezer (preferably) or fridge (if a freezer isn't an option) for a minimum of 4-6 hours. This is best when allowed to chill overnight or up to 8 hours!
9
Remove the cake from the freezer. Allow 20 minutes of de-frosting to cut the cake into bars.
10
Before serving, if storing this cake in the freezer, allow for 15-20 minutes of de-frosting.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
