pinch sea salt

 

In a food processor, add all the ingredients. Process until a dough has formed (allowing some almonds to remain coarsely chopped for texture.

Place a sheet of saran wrap on a cutting board and spill the dough out on top. Use your hands to press and form a 1-inch-thick rectangle. wrap and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to help solidify, then cut into 8-10 rectangles. Best served cold.
