• 1 heaping cup pitted dates ((if dry and stiff, soak for 10 minutes in warm water and drain well))
• 1 1/4 cups cashews ((soaked for at least 4 hours or overnight, then drained))
• 3 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil ((melted))
• 1/4 cup agave nectar or maple syrup
• 1 medium just ripe banana ((1 banana yields ~ 1/2 cup mashed)*)
• 1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk ((I scrape the cream off the top for luxurious texture))
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
