Ingredients

Filling

  • ¾ cup cashews
  • 1 cup soy milk
  • 4 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tsp lime zest
  • 2 tbsp melted cacao butter or sub for coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup fresh mint + extra for serving finely chopped
  • 6 lime slices for garnish - optional

Crust

  • ⅓ cup almonds
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut flakes
  • 5 Medjool dates pitted - see notes

Instructions

  • Soak the cashews in hot water, for minimum 30 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
  • For the crust, blend the almonds, coconut flakes, and Medjool dates in a high-speed blender or food processor until the ingredients hold together when pressed between your fingers.
  • Here we are using round 6 x molds that are approximately 5 cm in diameter and 3 cm high, but as this is a no-bake recipe, you can easily use any size of mold you have available.
    Press the mixture into your mold to create a flat base. Place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  • Melt the cacao butter in a microwave-friendly dish, heating for 20 seconds at a time.
  • Add the soaked cashews, soy milk, lime juice and zest, maple syrup, and melted cacao butter to a blender. Process until perfectly smooth (make sure there are no pieces left at all, give breaks to your blender to not overheat if needed).
  • Pour the mixture over the crust, leaving a little space at the top of the mold. Gently stir in the fresh mint.
  • Freeze for 4 hours or until solid (this might take a little longer if using a larger mold). Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before eating. Garnish with fresh mint, lime slices, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Medjool dates are quite juicy. They can go dry when they've been stored for a while. If that's the case for yours, soak them in hot water for a few minutes. 
If using regular dates (which are usually smaller), use 8 dates (about 1/3 of a cup packed), and soak in hot water for a few minutes before using.
