Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 15-oz. can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup cane or maple sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 stalks rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (3 cups)

Transfer to bowl, let cool to room temperature, then cover and chill.
3. Toast oats in small skillet over medium heat 3 minutes, or until light brown, stirring often. Remove from heat, and cool.
