Craving something sweet? These No-Bake Strawberry Bars are crazy simple and will surely satisfy your sweet tooth.
No-bake desserts are the best — especially with these simple strawberry bars! You’ll have a no-fail dessert you can whip up in minutes with plenty of leftovers to snack on throughout the week.
To get started, you’ll want to soak the cashews for at least six hours. This helps remove the phytic acid and makes them easier to digest and blend. Try soaking them overnight so they’re ready to go when you need them.

If you forget to soak them and really want to make these bars ASAP, you can boil the cashews for about 15 minutes.
To make the crust, you’ll need to crush up the dates, pecans, and walnuts using a food processor. While the food processor is running, scoop in the coconut oil and pour maple syrup through the top of the processor, letting everything stick together.
For the “icing,” you’ll place the soaked cashews, strawberries, coconut milk, and syrup into a high-power blender and pulse until smooth. Then, pour the mixture on top of the nuts.
The last step is topping the bars with fresh sliced strawberries. It’s that easy!
