Ingredients

Crust

  • 1/2 cup tigernuts presoaked & skinned
  • 2 medjoul dates pitted
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Filling

  • 1/2 cup tigernut flour
  • 5 tbsp maple syrup
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean powder
  • 1/4 tsp pink himalayan salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped strawberries

Topping

  • sliced strawberries

Instructions

  1. Process all crust ingredients in a food processor for several minutes until a crumbly mixture forms. You will need to scrape down the sides every once in a while to make sure everything is getting processed. Transfer this into a 4" springform pan. You can use a 9" springform but it won't be as thick as a 4". Press the crust down along the edges then place in the freezer.

  2. In a blender on high speed, blend all filling ingredients until completely smooth. Once smooth, transfer into your springform pan, smooth out the top, add your strawberry toppings, and freeze for 6 hours. Let thaw a few minutes before enjoying.
