- Line a 20x11cm loaf pan with baking paper. Place chopped dried figs and toasted almond slices in a food processor. Process until finely chopped. Add in lime juice and process until a sticky mixture forms. Press the sticky mixture evenly into the bottom of the loaf pan.
- Place cashew nuts, freshly pressed lime and lemon juice, maple syrup and coconut oil in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Pour the filling onto the crust and smooth the surface.
- Peel and cut the kiwis into slices. Arrange the kiwi slices on top and chill for 2 hours or overnight until set.

First off = no bake = YES PLEASE. Secondly, kiwis remind me of GOOD MEMORIES from boarding school and third... That cashew custard has me drooling! Cashews were totally my favorite nut!
Looks so yum, I would love a slice.
The crust sounds just as good as this beautiful cake, really nice recipe Angie. I'll keep it in the fridge till serving to cool off, heat wave here no baking :-)
