#easyfoodcreations #healthyeating #rawdesserts

I felt like having some almonds the other day. From my previous raw desserts I knew that almonds and coconut go really well together. I also thought why not add my other favourites - lemon and orange -to the mix. A delicious dessert came out!

Serves: 12

Ingredients:
1c almonds
0.75-1c coconut
10 prunes (you can use dates or figs if you prefer)
1 lemon - juice and zest
0.5 orange - juice and zest
0.5t cinnamon
0.5t vanilla powder

1. Process all ingredients together until they start forming a ball.
2. Place the mix on the parchment paper, flatten to form 1-2 inch thick block.
3. Place in the fridge for at least one hour.
4. Enjoy!
