Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 cups rolled oats (or 1 cup raw cashews and 1 cup rolled oats)
- 2 cups packed, pitted dates
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
For the Filling
- 2 pounds frozen mango, defrosted (about 6 cups, diced)
- 2 ounces unsweetened dried mango, soaked in a very small amount of water until soft
- 2 cups raw cashews
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
Optional Toppings
- 1-2 pounds of fresh raspberries
- Unsweetened coconut flakes
- Lime zest
- Chopped mint leaves
Instructions
For the Crust
- In a food processor fitted with an “S” blade, process the oats into a flour-like consistency. Add the dates and process until a ball forms. Then add the lime juice and zest. If it is too wet, add a few more oats until the proper consistency is reached. Press into the bottom of a tart pan with a removable bottom.
For the Filling
- In a high-powered blender, combine all of the ingredients (but not the optional toppings) and blend until smooth. Pour the filling over the crust.
- Sprinkle on any optional toppings, then cover and refrigerate for several hours to allow the filling to firm up before slicing, serving, and enjoying.
