TIME: 30 mins (plus 1 hour for soaking cashews)
TIP: Lay strips of parchment paper in the muffin cups before filling them to make it easier to remove once frozen
INGREDIENTS
CRUST:
• 1 cup pitted dates
• 1 cup cashew nuts
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
FILLING:
• 1 1⁄2 cups of raw cashews (pre-soaked for at least an hour)

• 2 tsp Nordic Wild Foods berry powder (order online at nordicwildfoods.com) or 1⁄2 cup of fresh berries
DIRECTIONS:
1. Add dates and coconut oil to a food processor and blend.
2. Once smooth, add nuts. Blend until a loose dough forms.
3. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Press the crust into the muffin tin and freeze.
4. To make filling, add remaining ingredients into the blender and mix until very smooth.
