How to Prepare Vanilla Orange Pumpkin Bars [Vegan]

Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment and set aside.
Into a high-speed blender add all your ingredients for the nougat base.
Blend this for around 2-3 minutes or until completely smooth and silky. It’s worth it. Once your mixture is ready, transfer it to your baking tin and flatten out till even. This is a bit of a sticky process but if you add spray of coconut oil to your spatula and it will make the process a bit easier. Place in the freezer while you make the filling.
Now let’s make that pumpkin filling topping. This is nice and simple, once again, just add all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth. Stay patient and blend for around 2 minutes so you achieve that really silky effect when eating these bad boys. Transfer this mixture onto the nougat base and spread until flat and beautiful.
Add your almonds and coconut sugar.
Lightly cover with parchment and set in freezer for around 4 hours.
Cut into 16 squares and serve.
