Scale
Pudding
- 2 cups raw cashew pieces, soaked for 8 hours or overnight, rinsed and drained

- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (I used So Delicious brand)
- 1/2 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup plain coconut yogurt (I used So Delicious brand)
- 1/4 cup firm tofu* (not silken), optional
- 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- zest of 2 Meyer lemons
- zest of 1 lime
Graham Crackers
- 2 cups pecans
- 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
- 3 Medjool dates
- 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the cashews, dates, coconut milk, lemon & lime juice, yogurt, tofu (if using), maple syrup and zest. Process until very smooth.
- In a food processor, combine the pecans, sesame seeds, dates, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Process until crumbly and of uniform size.
- Put 1 heaping tablespoon of pecan mixture at the bottom of each of 6 bowls or glasses. Top with about 3 tablespoons of lemon mixture. Continue alternating layers of pecan mixture with the lemon mixture until you’ve used up both. Top with fresh fruit and additional zest, if desired.
