Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 cup raw walnuts
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup pitted dates
  • pinch salt

Lemon Filling

  • 2 cups raw cashews
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup agave nectar or other raw liquid sweetener
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil or cocoa butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 3 lemons zested

Instructions
 

Before you begin:

  • Soak the raw cashews for the filling in cold water for four to six hours.
  • When you are ready to bake, drain them, and set aside

Crust:

  • Pulse the ingredients in a food processor for about two minutes. The dough should stick together when you pinch it.
  • Line an 8 to 9-inch pan with greaseproof paper.
  • Spread the mixture over the bottom, using your hand to smooth it evenly over the pan.

Lemon Filling:

  • Add half the cashews, the lemon juice and zest, agave nectar, turmeric, and coconut oil to a blender or food processor. Blend for about three minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Now, add the rest of the cashews, and blend until they are thoroughly mixed into the lemon cream. It should be very smooth in texture.
  • Pour the lemon filling over the crust.
  • Refrigerate for 8-12 hours or until the pie is set.
