Instructions:


  1. The night before: refrigerate 1 can of coconut milk. Soak the cashews in cool water and refrigerate overnight. If you forget to soak the cashews, then on the day you're making the tart, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Remove from heat and pour the hot water over the cashews; soak 1-2 hours then drain.
  2. The day of: Preheat the oven to 350. To make the crust, place the almond flour, dates, coconut oil, lemon juice, and salt into a food processor. Pulse several times until the mixture resembles wet sand. It will be a bit sticky. Pour the crust mixture into a lightly greased tart pan, pressing firmly. Make sure to press some of the mixture up the sides of the pan. Using a fork, poke holes at least every square inch into the bottom of the pan. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes until fragrant. Remove and cool completely.
