- •Crust:
- •1/2 cup crushed cinnamon cookies
- •1/2 cup chopped pecans
- •2 Tbsp creamy cashew butter
- •1 Tbsp agave syrup
- •Pinch sea salt
- •Filling:
- •1 cup raw, unsalted cashews, soaked in room temp water for 1-2 hours

- •1/2 cup agave syrup
- •2 tsp orange zest
- •1/4 cup orange juice
- •
- •1/4 tsp salt
- •7 Tbsp melted coconut oil
Instructions
- 1. Crust: In a food processor, pulse cookies and pecans into crumbs. Add the remaining crust ingredients to the food processor and pulse to combine.
- 2. When you can pinch the mixture between two fingers without it crumbling, it's done.
- 3. Press into a parchment paper lined 8x8 pan. Put in the freezer to harden while making the filling.
- 4. Filling: Wash and peel sweet potatoes. Dice roughly and steam until fork tender. Let cool completely, then mash the potatoes.
- 5. Add all ingredients except coconut oil to the blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Slowly stream in coconut oil and blend.
- 6. Pour over top of crust and smooth out with a spatula. Freeze for 2-4 hours or until mostly hardened.
- 7. Let soften in room temp for 10-15 minutes before slicing. If you're not serving immediately, store in the refrigerator or freezer so they do not melt.
- 8. Enjoy your Ube Sweet Potato Bars!
