- 2 tablespoons almonds chopped
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick spray.
For the Crust
- In a food processor, finely grind the nuts. A few large pieces are ok, but be careful not to over process the nuts. Add the coconut oil, honey, and dried fruit. Pulse in the processor until just combined. Transfer mix into prepared pan and press into an even layer.
For the Filling
- Combine all ingredients and mix well. Spread banana coconut mixture over the crust. Make sure the filling is as smooth as possible. Place in refrigerator while the topping is being prepared.
For the Topping
- Melt the chocolate, stirring often. Once melted, whisk in the coconut oil. Remove crust and filling layers from the refrigerator and pour chocolate over the top of the filling, spreading evenly over the top. Sprinkle coconut and almonds over the top. Refrigerate until chocolate has hardened. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
