We love birthdays in my house, and strawberries are usually ripe for my late April birthday. So, I make this for myself every year. It's a perfect, cooling dessert for a warm spring or summer day. Any berry works great!
Crust:
1 cup almonds
1 cup Brazil nuts
6-8 dates
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
Blend in food processor. Press firmly into pie pan (spring pan works best), chill.
Filling:
2 ½ cups cashews, soaked 3-4 hours
½ cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla
½ cup lemon juice
24 oz strawberries
½ cup coconut oil
¼ cup coconut butter
pinch of salt
Process cashews till doughy. Add next 3 ingredients, process until smooth. Add lecithin, process/pulse. Slowly add the strawberries while machine is running. Add coconut oil & butter. Pour into crust. Chill 4 hours
Top with fresh berries.
