Raw Nanaimo Bars - A Healthier Twist on a Classic

Nanaimo Bars

Nanaimo bars are a Canadian conventional dessert, named after the metropolis of Nanaimo, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island. It usually does now not require any baking, and greater traditional variations that I have come across are made of a crumb layer with coconut, regularly with nuts or crumbled graham cracker crumbs, a center creamy layer, often made with vanilla custard powder, and a chocolate topping. I even have made nanaimo bars on a couple of occasion, together with this traditional model, a mild variation of the traditional model with a walnut base, and additionally a model with avocado as the shining ingredient for the filling.

They are a famous deal with at coffee stores and are regularly served round Christmas time, and this 12 months, I made these for our dessert. And fancying a reasonably traditional version, with out subtle sugar, I came up with but another variation, with floor almonds and dates serving because the base, and creamy cashews, coconut butter, vanilla and maple syrup for the custard-like middle, and of direction, crowned with first-class dark chocolate and cocoa. They are each bit as rich as those one may assume to enjoy, however a whole lot nicer, as these comprise no refined sugar in any respect. And with all the nuts, they are additionally full of protein, so a slightly much less responsible indulgence. And they're clean to prepare too, with a meals processor reachable, and a chunk of persistence to put the layers collectively to allow for chilling time.
