These PB & J Slices are a childhood throwback. They are a grown up take on the flavors of peanut butter and jelly.
I used a few of my different famous recipes to create this magnificent trio of layers.
The bottom layer of coconut macadamia cookie crust is topped with a thick layer of peanut butter caramel and finished off with a decadent strawberry cream ice cream.
The combination is divine.
This recipe is rich and sweet so you only need a small slice to feel satisfied. This recipe is adored by adults and children alike.
This recipe is raw, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, high fiber and lip-smacking good.

Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Pitted Super Soft Fresh Medjool Dates (Chopped. Soak if needed)
- 1 Cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 1 1/2 Cups Raw Cashews (or Macadamia Nuts)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- Pinch of Sea Salt
- 1 1/2 Cups Pitted Super Soft Fresh Medjool Dates (Chopped. Soak if needed)
- 1/4 Cup Natural Pure Peanut Butter (If you do not like Peanut Butter flavor you can use almond butter instead)
- 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Fine Sea Salt
- 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 10 Drops Liquid Stevia (optional - not necessary)
- *If you have any left over store it in your refrigerator and use it as a yummy spread.
- 1/2 Cup Natural Cashew Butter
- 1 1/4 Cup Strawberries (Fresh or frozen that have been thawed)
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 5-10 Drops Liquid Stevia (or 3 Tbsp Maple Syrup or Coconut Sap/Sugar)
- 1 tsp Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Directions:
- Using your large food processor bowl and blade process all crust ingredients until dough-like consistency with visible chunks of nut.
- Grease an 8×8 baking pan, glass dish or spring form pan (the best option) for easy release with a healthy oil OR line with parchment paper (I prefer this method).
- Press crust mixture evenly into baking dish.
- Place all peanut butter caramel ingredients into your food processor and blend (stopping to scrape down the sides).
- Blend until completely smooth. Add a tablespoon of warm water if needed to be completely smooth.
- Gently spread caramel over top of your cookie crust.
- Place strawberry cream ingredients into your food processor and blend until completely smooth stopping to scrape down the sides.
- Spread your strawberry cream mixture over top of your caramel.
- Cover your squares and place in the freezer for 2-3 hours.
- Remove from freezer and set on the counter for a few minutes before cutting (this makes it easier on the hands).
- Serve and enjoy!
- *Store in a sealed tight container in your freezer.
