📝 Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 cup almond flour or crushed vegan graham crackers

- 1 ½ cups raw cashews (soaked)
- ½ cup coconut cream
- ¼ cup lemon juice (fresh is best!)
- 2–3 tbsp lemon zest 🍋

- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
🍴 How to Make Them:
- Prep the crust: Mix crust ingredients and press firmly into a lined dish. Chill while you prep the filling.

- Layer and chill: Spread the filling evenly over the crust, then chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is best!). Slice into bars and enjoy! 😋
