Instructions
- Crust
- In a dry pan, over medium heat, light toast pecans and almonds to bring out the flavour.
- Allow to cool and transfer to food processor.
- Process together with dried fruit, coconut, coconut oil and sea salt.
- Process just until sticky but not too fine.
- Using a pie dish, press the crust mixture into the dish, making sure to create it even thickness and go up the sides of the dish as well.
- Place in freezer to await filling.
- Filling (Layer 1)
- Drain and rinse cashews.
- In a high powered blender, blend together cashews, sweetener, lemon zest, lemons, coconut cream, vanilla, coconut oil, water and sea salt.
- Blend until smooth.
- Layer 1/2 of the mixture evenly on pie crust, reserving the other half for the second layer.
- Place in freezer to set for 20 minutes.
- Filling (Layer 2)
- With remaining filling mix, blend in the 1/2 cup of fruit of choice for some colour/texture variation.
- Once first layer is hardened, remove from freezer and cover with second layer of filling.
- Place in freezer to set for 20 minutes.
- Fruit Topping
- Process together berries (or fruit of choice) with sea moss and arrowrroot flour until a gelled consistency is achieved.
- Add final layer to the cake and replace in freezer to set for 2 hours.
- Serving
- Remove from freezer about 15-20 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- Slice with a sharp knife, making sure you get through the crust and use a pie server to get the goods out. The first piece will be the trickiest.
- Enjoy!
