Ingredients

Base Layer

  • 200g mixed nuts
  • 8 Medjool dates
  • Splash of lemon juice
  • 40g LØUCO Protein Powder

Top Layer

  • 150g cashews
  • 25–50ml coconut milk
  • Juice of 3 lemons
  • Drizzle of honey (optional)

 

Method

  1. Prepare the base: Add the mixed nuts, dates, protein powder, and lemon juice to a food processor. Blend until the mixture sticks when pressed. Press firmly into a lined dish or tray.
  2. Make the creamy top layer: Blend cashews, coconut milk, lemon juice, and honey until smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble: Spread the top layer over the base and smooth with a spatula.
  4. Chill: Freeze for at least 20 minutes until set.
  5. Serve: Slice into bars or squares and store in the fridge.

 

LØUCO Tip

Soak your cashews for 20–30 minutes before blending to create a super creamy top layer - no added oils or extras needed.
