Instructions
Soaking: In a bowl, soak raw cashew nuts 4 hours or overnight. Rinse thoroughly and discard soaking water (or feed your garden/compost). Soak any other raw nuts or seeds to activate them, too.
Make the crust base. In a food processor, combine all ingredients and blend to a granular crust. Line an 8-10 inch springform pan with the crust, pressing down firmly and evenly. You can also line the pan first with unbleached biodegradable parchment paper, if you like.
Make the topping. In a food processor, reduce the cashew nuts to a fine paste. Add the coconut milk, maple syrup, juice + zest of 1 lime, matcha powder, cacao butter, vanilla bean tincture, and virgin coconut oil. Blend into a smooth, evenly consistent paste.
Pour the mixture onto the crust. Place the cake in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or overnight to allow the cake to set and solidify. When ready to serve, simply slice and devour!
Notes
