Raw Fig And Date Squares Recipe

Ingredients

Filling

2/3 cup dried figs

2/3 cup dates, pitted

1 tablespoon lemon or orange juice

1 tablespoon raw honey

Base and Topping

1 cup pecans

1/2 cup almonds

1/2 cup shredded dried coconut

4 large dates, pitted

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 pinch sea salt

Preparation

Place first four ingredients in a food processor and blend to a paste. Set aside.

Process the pecans, almonds, coconut, cinnamon and salt in a food processor until coarsely ground. Add dates one at a time and process until the mixture starts to stick together.

In a small square baking pan, arrange half of the crumble as a base. Then spread all the fig/date mixture on top, and sprinkle with the remaining crumble on top. Press layers together with the back of a spoon. Cut into squares.
