Step 1

Soak the dates in warm water for five minutes, then drain well.

Step 2

Lightly toast the cashew nuts in a pan over a medium heat for three to four minutes until fragrant, then let cool.

Step 3

In a food processor, blitz the toasted cashews until finely ground (like a coarse flour).

Step 4

Add the dates, peanut butter, superfood powder, cardamom powder and desiccated coconut and blend until it forms a sticky dough. If it’s too dry, add a splash of coconut milk.

Step 5

Line a small square dish or tray with parchment paper. Press the mixture evenly into it, smoothing the top.

Step 6

Sprinkle over the chopped pistachios and trail mix, pressing them gently into the surface. Chill in the fridge for at least one hour, until firm.

Step 7

Slice into diamonds and serve (or wrap up as a lovely Diwali gift!)
