Steps:
- 1. Place the cashews in a bowl of boiling water and leave to rest for 1 hour.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 170C/340F.
- 3. Place the ground almonds and coconut sugar in a large bowl and mix well. Add in the maple syrup and melted coconut oil and stir until a dough is formed. You should be able to roll the mixture into a ball, if you find the mixture too dry or crumbly add a little bit more coconut oil.
- 4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the dough inside it, pressing it firmly until you have an even layer spread across the bottom of the tray (We used a small glass to roll it out evenly).
- 5. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until it starts to brown, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- 6. Drain the water from the cashews and place in a blender with the coconut cream (the hardened cream from the top of a can of coconut milk), honey, lemon zest, lemon juice and arrowroot starch. Pulse until fully combined. Taste the mixture, it should taste really creamy and with a tangy lemon flavour. If you need to add more lemon juice, add it now.
- 7. Place the mixture on top of the almond base and put back in the oven for a further 15 minutes.
- 8. Leave out to cool for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
- 9. Top with lemon slices, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds and lemon zest to serve.
