Recipe for Coconut Lime Bars + Bites by Renée Loux
This is one of the simplest and most satisfying treat to make, no fancy equipment required. Creamy coconut and bright, zesty lime pair together for the perfect balance of flavor and texture. All raw, all vegan, all delightful.

INGREDIENTS:
2/3 cup soaked cashews (soaked 2-4 hours in filtered water, drained and rinsed)

6 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons lime zest (organic limes please!)

small pinch unrefined sea salt
½ cup dried shredded coconut, plus ¼ cup to garnish
