INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Spray an 8 inch round springform pan with non-stick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Add the macadamia nuts, pitted dates and dried dessicated coconut to the food processor and process until it starts to form into a sticky dough. It will start off crumbly, keep going until it starts to clump together in sticky clumps. Transfer to the springform pan and smooth it down into a pie crust. Use the back of a spoon to press it down into a neat flat layer. Place into the freezer to set.
