How to Prepare No-Bake Matcha Slice Bars With Pistachios [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Add the Medjool dates, pits removed, into a food processor, and blend them until it forms a paste.
Add the pistachios and shredded coconut and blend the mixture until combined.
Transfer the mixture into an 8x4x1/2-inch loaf pan, that’s lined with baking paper, and with your fingers, form an even base. Set this aside while you make the filling.
For the matcha filling, add an inch of water, into a small pot, bring it to a boil, then take it off the heat, and place a heat proof, glass bowl, on top.
Next, place the coconut oil into the bowl, to gently melt, then add the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla essence, lemon juice, and coconut cream, and whisk the mixture until combined.
Finally, add the matcha powder and give it a quick whisk.
Blend the matcha filling, with a hand blender, to emulsify the mixture and then pour it on top of your pistachio base, and with a spatula, smooth it out. If needed, gently jiggle the tray, and tap it to release any unwanted air bubbles.
