Low Carb Vegan Nanaimo Bars

Ingredients

• 1 cup pecans ((ground))
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup coconut ((ground))
• 1 cup macadamia nuts ((ground))
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 10 drop liquid stevia
• 1/4 cup chocolate ((ground))

Instructions

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine ground pecans, cocoa powder and softened coconut manna/butter.
2. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Press crust dough into an 8x8 baking dish.
4. Chill crust for about 15 minutes.
5. While crust is soaking, toss soaked nuts, coconut manna/butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract and liquid stevia into your blender or food processor and blend.
6. Slowly add in the 1/4 of water and keep blending until the mixture is totally smooth.
7. This took me about 3-5 minutes (with stopping to scrape down the sides).
8. Pull crust from the fridge and smooth the filling over top as evenly as possible.
9. Return to the fridge for another 45 minutes.
10. Make the glaze by melting the chocolate and coconut oil over low heat, stirring well.
11. Pour over the smoothed filling (it helps to smooth it once more once chilled), and swirl the dish until the glaze is evenly distributed.
12. Chill for another 15 minutes, slice and enjoy! Store in the fridge.
