Instructions
Add dates, cashews, oat flour, and salt to a food processor, and blend just until dough begins to stick together into one mound. Make sure you don't over-process.
Lay parchment paper down into an 8.5 x 4.5" loaf pan**, and squish dough down evenly. Place in the freezer to set while you make the filling.
After cleaning your food processor, add in the pistachios, cashews, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla, spinach, and salt, and blend until very smooth and creamy. Take the loaf pan out of the freezer and pour the filling in, covering the crust.
Cover the loaf pan and place it back in the freezer for at least 5 hours to fully set.
To serve, remove from freezer and top with pistachio pieces, and anything else you'd like!
