These Vegan Nanaimo Bars come with a dairy-free buttercream filling flavored with purple sweet potatoes! They are paleo, refined sugar-free and gluten-free!
Put all ingredients for the crust in the bowl of your food processor and blend until a crumbly mass forms. It should hold together when pressed.
Line a 8x8 inch square brownie pan with cling film. Press the crust mixture onto the bottom and place into the freezer to set.
In the meantime cut the cooled roasted sweet potatoes into chunks and place into your blender (I like to use my Vitamix) along with all other ingredients apart from coconut oil.
Blend until a very smooth light purple cream forms, then continue blending while drizzling the melted coconut oil into the blender.
Pour this mixture on top of the chilled crust and freezer for 2-3 hours.
Melt coconut oil and let cool down. Mix in all other ingredients for chocolate glaze and stir until very smooth. Pour chocolate glaze on top of the partly-frozen purple sweet potato bars, smooth out with a spatula and place in the freezer for another hour.
Take the mold out of the freezer and wait for 10 minutes before cutting in into squares. It helps to run a knife under hot water before cutting, to get clean slices.
Store in the fridge.
