No-bake sugarless purple dessert bars – Paleo + Vegan!

Base:

3 tbsp vanilla protein powder (I love This one) 

1/4 c almond flour

1/4 c granola, buckwheat or oats (I used the crumbs from Lil Bucks Clusterbucks)

Dash cinnamon

4-5 soft dates – halved 

1 tbsp oil or sub nut butter or applesauce 

1-2 tbsp water

Grind the protein powder, almond flour, granola/oats, and cinnamon in a food processor.

Add the dates and blend to incorporate.

Add the wet ingredient and 1 tbsp water and blend until it forms a firm dough that sticks together.

Add water 1 tsp at a time if mixture is dry.

Press into a shallow dish lined with parchment and refrigerate.

Topping: 

1/2 c roasted purple Japanese sweet potato (roast in the skin until very soft, cool, then scoop out the flesh and discard skin) 

3/4 c thick coconut cream (Such as Thai Kitchen) 

1-2 tbsp sweetener of choice

1 tsp vanilla extract  

Method

Blend everything in the food processor until smooth and creamy.

It should have a “whipped” texture.

Spread over base and freeze until solid.

Slice then store in the freezer. 

Thaw 5ish minutes before enjoying =)
