Line a 9x9 tray with parchment paper, and line the bottom with your base using hands or a spatula.
Set aside in fridge to firm up.

FILLING

Directions

Mix all ingredients into a food processor, until you achieve a consistent liquid filling. (A few lumps are okay.)
Using a spatula, add this layer to your base, and set aside in the fridge.

TOPPING

Directions

In a shallow bowl, peel your citrus and begin to chop down into little pieces.
With a fork, press down to extract juice and fillings, until you get one consistency.
On the stovetop, over medium heat, add pressed citrus with maple syrup, and let simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the topping layer to the bars chilling in the fridge and spread evenly.
Move to freezer and freeze for approximately 3 hours before cutting and serving.
