What You’ll Need:

2 1/2 c raw, unsalted cashews

3/4 c blueberries, fresh or frozen

1/3  c coconut oil, melted 

½  c pure maple syrup 

Zest AND juice of 2 lemons 

1 tsp pure vanilla extract 

1 tsp sea salt 

½  tsp cinnamon

½  tsp nutmeg 

 

Toppings:

Additional 1/4 c blueberries, fresh or frozen

zest of the lemons


* I know, I know. Soaking nuts sounds weird!  Trust me.  Place the 2 1/2 c raw cashews in a glass container, cover generously with filtered water & sit at room temp overnight. 

Once soaked, drain & rinse cashews with cool water.

Zest lemons, setting zest aside.

Then, combine all ingredients (except for toppings) in a food processor until smooth.

Use a spatula to transfer to a standard size pie pan.

Top with lemon zest & remaining blueberries

Pop in the fridge (or freezer for an extra cool treat!) for 4-6 hours.  

Remove from fridge/freezer just before serving and be SO happy.

Serves 6.
