Ingredients

1 cup walnuts
1 cup coconut sugar
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 ¼ cups cashews
10 tablespoons lime juice
½ cup honey
5 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
2 pinches salt, or more to taste
½ teaspoon grated lime zest

Steps:

Combine walnuts, coconut sugar, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, and 1 tablespoon honey in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until fine, moist crumbs form, about 3 minutes. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish.
Place cashews, lime juice, 1/2 cup honey, 5 tablespoons coconut oil, 1 tablespoon lime zest, and salt in a blender. Blend together until very smooth, about 4 minutes. Pour filling mixture over prepared crust.
Refrigerate until set, at least 20 minutes. Top with 1/2 teaspoon lime zest before serving.
