makes 1 8x12 tray, cut however big you like:)This is my take on sunshinerose’s Light-Bright Lemon Bars
I didn’t have all the igredients it called for so I improvised!
Ingredients:
BASE
1¼ cup cashews
1¼ cup almonds
¼ cup walnuts
¼ cup sunflower seeds
1 cup flax seeds
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoon
agave
TOPPING
2 mangoes
2 lemons
½ cup coconut oil
¼ cup
agave
2 cup fresh coconut, shredded
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:
BASE
Blend the cashews,
almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds and flax seeds in blender or food processor if you have one. Once it is a very fine consistency, transfer to a large mixing bowl,add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and 2 tsps of agave, this will hold the base of the bar together. Press evenly in the bottom of a pan.
LEMON TOP
Combine in blender, diced mangoes, zest and juice of 2 lemons, along with 1/4 cup of agave. Remove from blender, add shredded cococnut, 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and warmed coconut
oil. Mix together and spread evenly over base mixture in pan. Freeze and enjoy!!!

Hi, I just made it today... and the filling turned out with the consistency if a very liquidy smoothie. I froze it and it's kinda like a sorbet type of cake now! Is that how this is supposed to be? I thought it's a snack "bar"? Sorry I'm just confused. thanks in advance!

Britzer, you can add flax powder to thicken them and put them in the fridge instead.

You can use whatever nuts you like as the base, this is just what I had on hand. For the lemon topping, I wanted it quite tart since the base was in the sweeter side, if you want a sweeter topping, add more agave or honey.
