Ingredients:
Crust:
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 8 soft Medjool dates
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
Filling:
- 1 1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked if they're actually raw, but don't bother otherwise)
- Juice of 1 lemons
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 10-15 fresh sweet cherries, pitted (or any other berry, I'm sure)
Instructions:
1. In a food processor, combine pecans, dates, salt and vanilla.
2. In a spring form pan, or a pie dish lined with parchment paper press crust mixture evenly.
3. Process the ingredients for the filling until it forms a very creamy paste. All traces of cashew crumbs should be gone.

This is so lovely but if you want it to look like the picture, you need a small spring form pan. I used a regular sized 9" and it came out about 1/2" thick! More like a cheesecake tart, but still very delicate and tasty. Oh and I used strawberries instead of cherries.
