Superfood Berry Cashew Cream No-Bake Bars

For the crust:
Line the bottom of and 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to use as a handle.

Place cashews into a large food processor and pulse until broken down and crumbly. Add dates and pulse until combined and mixture begins to form a crumbly dough.

Pour the crust into the bottom of the prepared pan, adding the water to help it stick together. Press firmly into the pan. You need to press it very thin, so really use your muscle and work it in there. Place into the freezer while you make the cream.

For the layers:
Drain soaked cashews and place them, along with nutmilk, agave and a pinch of salt, into a large, high-powered blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. Transfer to a large liquid measuring cup. You should have about 2 1/2 cups of cream.

Place just over 3/4 cup (or 1/3 of the total amount) of the cream into a small food processor (mine is 3 cups) along with 1 cup of the strawberries, reserving the rest for later. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape the sides down as needed.

Pour the cream over the crust and spread out evenly. Place into the freezer just until the top feels set, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Once set, add another just over 3/4 cup of the cream to the small food processor, along with the spinach. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape the sides down as needed. Pour over the strawberry layer and spread out gently. Place into the freezer just until the top feels set, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Finally, pour all the remaining cashew cream (should be just over 3/4 cup) into the small food processor again, adding the remaining strawberries and the blueberries. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape the sides down as needed. Pour over the spinach and spread out gently.

Cover the pan with tinfoil and freeze until completely firm and set, about 4 hours to overnight. Slice into bars and devour!

Notes
1. I tried to make the layers in the blender, but it was too small of a batch to get creamy.
2. Do not make the layers in advance as the pectin in the fruit causes the cashew to gel if you do this. Make them just as you’re ready to spread them.
3. Bars are best if you slice them and let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes or so, to soften a little bit.
