Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 cup raw almonds
- ½ cup large dates, pitted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp unrefined salt
For the Cream
- 1 cup cashew nuts, soaked for 2-4 hours and drained
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup date paste
- 2 tbsp lime juice
For the Topping
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
Method
In a food processor, pulse the almonds to a flour. Add the dates, vanilla extract and salt. Pulse until the mixture begins to clump together. Press firmly and evenly into a parchment paper lined 9″ springform pan. Keep aside in the refrigerator, until the cream cheese is ready. In a blender, combine the ingredients for the cream until smooth. Pour the cream over the crust and set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Add the sliced strawberries just before serving.
Any seasonal fruit can be substituted – for e.g. mango, banana, peach.
Serves 5-6
