2 cups cashews/ almonds/ walnuts
1 cup raw oats
1 tsp cinnamon powder
35 large pitted dates
Juice and zest (grated peel) of 1 large orange
Method:
CRUST - In a food processor, grind the nuts and oats into powder. Add cinnamon and pulse again. Add 20 dates and pulse again till the mixture starts clumping together.
FILLING - In a food processor, blend the 15 remaining dates alongwith orange juice and zest until smooth.
ASSEMBLY - Press 2/3 of the crust mixture into a pan lined with wax paper or foil. Press down with your hands hard to make the base firm. Spread the filling mixture in a thin layer on top of this. Then loosely sprinkle the remaining crust on top of the filling.
Optional - Spread some dried grated coconut on top.
