• 1 1/2 C raw nuts (combo like Hazelnuts, Walnuts & Brazil works well)

In your Optimum 9400 Blender or similar throw nuts in & blend until a fine crumb, add pitted dates, Hemp seeds or powder, melted coconut oil & blend until dates are chopped & mix comes together.  Add water only if needed to make the raw dough come together. Press into a coconut oil greased spring form & pop in freezer to set while you make the filling.

Filling

• 2 C raw cashews
• 1 C hulled hemp seeds
• 1/2 C lemon juice
• 1 1/4 C nut milk (almond, cashew or coconut works fine)

• 1/4 C Blue Coconut Organic Cold Pressed Coconut oil (gently melted)
• 1 t Heilala vanilla powder
• 2 T Life Foods Organic Maca Powder

If making own nut milk for this recipe you will need to blend 1/2 C raw nuts (almonds, brazils, cashews) with 1 1/4 C filtered water & strain through nut milk bag or curd & jelly bag.  

Soak your hulled hemp seeds in the nut milk & lemon juice for 10 minutes.  Place all your ingredients in your Optimum 9400 Blender & blend on high for 1 minute or until creamy & smooth.  Pour over your base crust & place back in freezer to firm up.
