Instructions 

  •  Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Add the dates to a food processor and pulse until the dates are broken into a smooth mixture like a date puree.
  • Add the almonds, shredded coconut, coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt, clove, and ginger.  Pulse until everything is evenly combined and a sticky mixture. Scrape down the sides with a silicone spatula a couple of times as you pulse the mixture.
  • Press the carrot cake batter into the prepared loaf pan and place it in the freezer while you make the cashew frosting.
  • To make the cashew frosting, drain the water from the cashews. Add the cashews, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, coconut cream, vanilla, and sea salt into a food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the slides as needed.
  • Pour the cashew frosting on top of the carrot cake base and smooth it out. If you’d like, you can add some lemon zest on the top of the bars.
  • Freeze for 3-4 hours, until the cashew frosting is set.
  • Remove from the loaf pan, slice into bars, and enjoy!
