Raw Cashew "Cheesecake"" - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Crust
    1/2 cup raw almonds
    1/2 cup soft medjool dates
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    Filling
    1 1/2 cups raw cashews
    2 lemons, juice of
    1 teaspoon alcohol free vanilla extract
    1/3 cup raw coconut oil
    1/3 cup raw honey or 1/3 cup agave nectar
    1 cup fresh raspberry
Preparation
    place raw cashews into bowl, fill with water and let soak 5 hours.
    chop almonds finely.
    add almonds, dates and salt to the food processor and chop until it is a workable paste (you should be able to roll it in your hands and have it stick together).
    using a 7 \" spring form pan, spread the date/almond mixture onto the bottom to form the crust.
    melt honey or nectar with coconut oil, whisk to combine.
    drain cashews.
    add cashews, lemon juice, coconut oil and honey together in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Be patient, this takes a while.
    once smooth, pour approx 2/3 of the mixture into the cake pan
    add raspberries to the remaining mixture and blend.
    pour raspberry mixture into the pan
    place in freezer until solid.
    remove from freeze 30 min prior to serving.
    garnish with raspberries.
    optional: try this recipe with different fruits and berries. I have tried blueberries and strawberries.
