I was making Living pizza:eat last night and had some soaked cashews left over and I started to make some more cashew cheese with it and next thing I know I had an amazing dessert that my entire family (all 12 of them) went nuts over so I just had to share what I did.

1/2 cup soaked cashews
juice from 1 & 1/2 lemons
1 t vanilla
3 T agave or raw Honey
a pinch or two of salt
(I also added 1/4t natural lemon extract)

I used my magic bullet to whip this up into a dreamy liquid :drool:

In the big food processor I processed
2 cups of almonds till very fine
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup coconut
1-2T coconut butter
pored in the dreamy liquid and processed until it all stuck together in a ball or raisins are all incorporated really really well.

I spread this out in a glass pan and put it in the freezer to set up. I will make this again but I think next time I will make balls rolled in coconut because it was a bit difficult to get out of the pan because it was a bit sticky.:sad:

Everyone said it reminded them of lemon meringue pie, just in a bar. The lovely yellow color was also a nice change from everything that usually has brown in it. I don't have a dehydrator so I am not sure if they would have been better dehydrated.

I've got everything but coconut butter - would coconut oil work just as well? These sound right up our alley in this household!

Here's a similar recipe that's simple and good:

1 avocado
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup agave nectar
dash vanilla (optional)

Yummy lemon pudding

Yes I am sure it would work even better to help set them up, I just wanted an excuse to open up the coconut butter and try it out, I found that I loved it and kind of crave it now, yummy! Silly me but I will actually go over and open the jar just to smell it when I smell my neighbors cooking food on the grill and it reminds me how much I'd rather eat raw.
