METHOD
- Soak cashews in cool water for 6-8 hours or overnight. Drain well and set aside

- Line a standard pie or cake dish (around 7 inches) with baking paper then add crust mixture and carefully press with fingers
- To flatten further, line a flat-edged drinking glass with baking paper and press down, pushing crust up the sides. Place in the freezer to firm
- Add all filling ingredients except Good Green Vitality to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. Add more coconut milk if needed
- Taste for flavor/sweetness and add more maple syrup for sweetness, more vanilla if needed, or more coconut yogurt/lemon for more tanginess
- Pour 2/3 of the filling into the crust and tap the pan a few times to release any air bubbles. Set aside
- Add Good Green Vitality to the remaining filling and blend until creamy and smooth.
- Add to the filling in a swirling motion and swirl a few times with a chopstick to create a more swirl pattern. Tap to release air bubbles
