Summer Berry Cashew Cream Pie [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 1/2 cups dates

For the Cream:

• 2 cups cashews
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• A pinch of Himalayan salt
• Water, as needed

For the Topping:

• Sliced strawberries
• Blueberries
• Anything else you like

Preparation

To Make the Crust:

1. Process the oats into flour in a blender or food processor. If you're using a food processor, add in the dates and process until it all sticks together. If you're using a blender, dump the oat flour into a bowl and combine the dates and oat flour together with your hands until it all is evenly gooey. This will take a few minutes and you will have to get your hands a bit dirty. Press this "dough" into a pie dish and put in the fridge.

To Make the Cream:

1. Blend everything together until it's smooth and thick, adding water as needed. You want it to be the texture of a thick yogurt. Pour this into your crust and leave in the fridge for three hours or preferably overnight. Decorate with berries and enjoy!
