• 3 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted

Instructions:

1. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment. Pulse almonds, dates, and salt in a processor until a sticky crumb forms. Press into the pan.
2. Blend cashews, maple syrup, coconut cream, lemon juice, vanilla, and coconut oil until very smooth.
