WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY CRUMB BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 Degree. Line an 8X8 square baking pan with aluminum foil and press along the sides. Spray with baking spray.
• In a medium saucepan on medium heat, add the cranberries, sugar, and squeeze the juice from a mid-sized orange into the pan. Peel two large orange peels from the orange and add them to the pot as well. Allow the cranberries to simmer and they will begin to burst open. Stir periodically for 15 minutes the cranberries will become mushy. As you stir, press the cranberries so they aren't whole. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Remove the orange peels.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar cookie mix, the egg, and a stick of butter. Start off by using a spoon to mix the egg and break up the butter into the mixture. Use your fingers to break the butter into the mixture without turning the mixture into a ball of dough. As you are breaking the butter into the mixture crumble the mixture with your finger to ensure the mixture is crumbly.
• Take half of the sugar cookie mixture and press into the bottom of the baking dish. Use your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes on the medium shelf. The crust should look lightly golden around the edges. Allow cooling, about 15 minutes.
• Pour the cranberry mixture on top of the sugar cookie crust and spread using a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips on top and finally sprinkle the rest of the crumbs from the sugar cookie mix on top of the cranberry mixture and white chocolate chips. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool completely and cut into squares.

• Make sure your ingredients are warmed and pourable. I like to use a warm water bath for 10 minutes to get everything soft. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the coconut concentrate, honey, coconut oil, and lemon juice in a food processor and process until combined. You can also use a bowl and whisk here.
• Place the cassava flour, baking soda, and sea salt (leave out the coconut sugar) in a small bowl together and combine. Add about three-quarters of the dry mixture to the food processor or mixing bowl, and pulse or mix until just combined. Don't overmix, this is how the crust turns out flaky! Add the remaining mixture and pulse once to combine.
• Scoop out half of the crust mixture into a square 8 x 8 baking dish lined with parchment paper. Your mixture should be crumbly, but form together nicely. Using your hands or a spatula, press the mixture to form an even layer on the bottom, working into the corners. Bake for 10 minutes.

• Pour the filling on top of the base, using a spatula to spread evenly over the surface.
• Sprinkle the coconut sugar over the remaining crust in the food processor or bowl. Pulse once to barely incorporate. Preserving the crumbly texture of the mixture by using your hands, pour on top of the filling. Don't press, but work the crumbles in to cover all the surface area. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.
• Remove from oven, score into 9 squares with a knife, and let cool to room temperature before serving.

Add coconut oil and pulse until completely blended in. Whisk egg, sunflower or canola oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and almond extract in a small dish until combined. Turn on processor and drizzle egg mixture through the feed tube and continue processing and then pulsing, scraping down the sides a few times until the mixture becomes crumbly. {Note: the crumbs will be loose, but if you squeeze them together with your hand it will clump together.]
• Reserve ½ cup of the crumb mixture and mix in a bowl with the remaining almonds. Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared dish and set aside.
• Make the filling: Stir 3 cups cranberries, ¾ cup sugar, clementine juice and cornstarch in medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring often. Continue cooking, stirring constantly until very thick, about 5 minutes total. Stir in the remaining 2 cups cranberries, chopped clementine, zest and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• Spread the cranberry filling over the crust. Sprinkle the reserved topping over the top. Scatter the coconut chips over the topping and transfer to the oven. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue cooking until the filling bubbles and the topping is lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes longer. Cool completely before cutting.

• Bake at 350˚F for 45-50 minutes or until the crust browns and the filling bubbles in the center, not just the sides. Cover with foil if crust is browning faster than the center bubbles. For best results, CHILL in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before icing and serving.
• For the orange icing: Whisk together the powdered sugar, orange zest, and orange juice to the desired consistency. May place icing in a zip-top bag, make a small cut in one corner and drizzle over the cool bars. Or simply drizzle the icing over the top with a spoon. Use parchment paper to lift bars out of pan. Cut and serve.
