Prepare the Cashews: Drain the soaked cashews and rinse them thoroughly.
Make the Base: In a food processor, combine the pitted dates and walnuts. Process until a sticky, crumbly mixture forms. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Blend the Filling: In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, matcha powder, lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is well incorporated. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Assemble the Bars: Pour the matcha-lemon filling over the date and walnut base, spreading it evenly.
Chill: Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bars to set completely.
Cut and Serve: Once the bars are firm, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares or bars. Store in the refrigerator.
