Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a food processor, combine your choice of almonds or cashews, shredded coconut, Medjool dates, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until it resembles a clumpy mixture that holds together when pressed. Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper and press the crust into the bottom. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together full-fat coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup or agave, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla extract, and another pinch of salt. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until thickened.
  3. Pour the chia pudding over the chilled crust and spread evenly across the crust. Smooth out the top.
  4. Cover the pan and place it back in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Once set, lift the bars out using the parchment paper, slice into squares or rectangles, and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes and extra lime zest before serving.
