- Press the dough into the bottom of the sheet until it is very “compact”. Refrigerate.

For the cream:
- In a food processor or blender, pulse the hydrated and strained cashews for about 3 minutes.
- Add the almond/coconut milk blend and honey and mix until you get a homogeneous cream.
- Add the shredded coconut and beat a little more just to combine.
