How to make it
NOTE: Cashews must be soaked overnight as step 0!
In a food processor, combined oats, nuts, dates, coconut oil, nut butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Pulse on puree setting until combined into a fine sticky crumble.
Like a 9x9 pan with parchment paper. Transfer the crumble into the pan. Using a spoon or rubber spatula, spread the base to each side, and pat down.
Place base layer in freezer.
In a blender (or food processor), combined cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut oil, pumpkin, stevia, lemon, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla.
Blend on high until combined into a silky smooth texture.
Pour over base, and spread evenly with a spatula.
Return to freezer to set up (~5 hours).
Store in freezer and remove 1 hr ahead of serving, or store in fridge for up to 3 days.
Recommend serving with Gay Lea’s coconut whipped cream.
