How to Prepare No-Bake Paleo Chocolate Shortbread Squares [Vegan]

In a food processor, blend ground almonds, dried coconut, cashew butter, sweetener, and salt until a bound consistency has formed (about 1-2 minutes).
In a silicon mould or a greased dish, press down the mixture to form a flat base.
Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes until solid.
In a glass bowl over a pan of boiling water, melt your chocolate and coconut oil together, then add in your sweetener and stir in until fully dissolved.
Now pour directly onto the shortbread base and place in freezer for about 1 hour to set.
Remove from the freezer and allow to stand for about 15-20 minutes before using a sharp knife to slice squares and serve.
