Raw Strawberry Pie

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.
