Creamy Paleo Lemon Bars


I love these lemon bars! They are so creamy and rich. I love these sour, you can adjust them to your preference. Enjoy!



Makes 16 squares
  • Ingredients 
  • Crust:
  • 2/3 cups dates, pitted
  • 1 cup walnuts 
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Lemon Zest  
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cream filling:
  • 2 cups unsweetened coconut 
  • 1-2 Tablespoons liquid sweetener of your choice (I used Maple syrup)    
  • 1/2-3/4 cups fresh lemon juice (from 2-3 lemons)
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric (this is optional, it is just for the color)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2-3 Tablespoons coconut milk as needed
  •  

 Instructions
In a food processor, blend the dates, nuts, coconut, lemon zest and salt until they are all combined
In an 8 by 8 inch pan greased with coconut oil, press the crust into a even layer.
In a high powered food processor or blender add all the ingredients for the cream filling. Mix until creamy, adding coconut milk as needed. You can adjust the sweetener and the lemon juice as needed to your liking. Pour the lemon cream onto the crust and let set in the fridge for 1 hour, or freezer for 15-20 minutes. Cut into squares and serve. Place any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. 
You can also freeze these!

    I use to love lemon bars but they have always made me sick. I think it's all the sugar in them. I need to try these and see how my body reacts!
