Instructions
- Line a 9 inch x 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
- In a food processor, add walnuts, shredded coconut, honey or (maple syrup), coconut oil, coconut sugar if using and salt. Blend ingredients for crust until it's crumbly and sticks together easily, about 2 minutes.

- Remove the crust from the freezer and pour the filling on top of the crust. Smooth the filling into an even layer. Place in the freezer for 1 hour. Long enough for the filling to set and become solid.
- When ready to serve, remove from the freezer about 15 minutes before slicing.
