- 1 cup dates
- 1 cup walnuts or almonds, raw
- 1 1/2 cup cashews, raw
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- juice of 1 large lemon
- 1/2 cup sugar, or other organic sweetener
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- lavender to garnish
- Soak dates in warm water for 10 minutes, drain. Add to a food processer and blend until dates form into a ball. Remove and set aside.
- Add raw walnuts or almonds to food processor and process into a meal. Add the dates back into the mixture and blend until a loose dough forms. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
- Lightly grease a 12 slot muffin tin. Scoop in heaping 1 tbsp. amounts of mixture and press down with fingers. Pack tightly using a spoon or small glass, use wax paper as a barrier if the mix is too sticky. Set in freezer to firm.
- Add remaining ingredients to a blender and process until very smooth. Divide filling among the muffin tin. Add fresh blueberries or lavender as desired. Cover with plastic and place in freezer until hard, about 4 to 6 hours. Set out for a few minutes to soften, or serve frozen.
