- Press the mixture into the base and sides of a 22cm (base measurement) loose- bottom tart tin (it helps if you have damp hands). Refrigerate or freeze for 1-2 hours.
- To make the filling, place the dates, honey and water into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir breaking up dates for a few minutes or until dates have softened and all the water has evaporated. Remove and cool slightly.
- Fit the work bowl with the multipurpose blade and add date mixture; process until smooth. Add cashew butter, coconut oil and vanilla and pulse until combined. Pour into chilled pastry base and return to the refrigerator.

Tips
Only use full fat coconut cream, as low fat will not work.
To make it totally dairy free substitute cream with another half can of coconut cream.
