1 cup raw walnuts

½ cup Navitas Organics Goji Berries

1 cup Navitas Organics Hemp Seeds

 2 Tbsp. maple syrup

Filling Ingredients:

6½ Tbsp. Navitas Organics Pomegranate Powder

½ cup fresh lemon juice

¼ cup coconut butter

⅔ cup coconut oil

¾ cup maple syrup

3 cups Navitas Organics Cashew Nuts (soaked 4 hours and drained)

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 Tbsp. sunflower lecithin

Pinch sea salt

DIRECTIONS 

Make the crust: Grind the nuts to a coarse grind using a food processor. Add the goji berries and process to mix and break apart some of the berries. Add the hemp seeds and briefly process to incorporate. Add the maple syrup and process until the mixture holds together when pressed between your fingers. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and place in the freezer while you make the filling.
