Base

• 1 3/4 cups of crunchy cookies with spices (ginger, cinnamon) previously grinded
• 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons of oil

Mix all the ingredients and form manually.

Filling

• 1/2 cup of whole unroasted cashews, previously soaked in water for 2-8 hours
• 1 can of non-cooled coconut milk (about 380 ml)
• 1/2 cup of almond milk or other vegetable milk according to your liking
• 1/2 teaspoon of agar powder
• 2/3 cup of brown sugar or other natural sweetener of your choice
• 3 tablespoons of coconut oil
• 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons of grated lemon rind
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Topping

• 3/4 cup of water
• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
• 1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice
• 1/3 cup of brown sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon of agar powder
• 1/16 teaspoon of turmeric
• 2 teaspoons of finely grated lemon peel

Preparation: 

1. Preheat the oven to 180° C. Thoroughly press the base mixture into a cake mold (approximately 20 cm long). Bake for 10 minutes at 180° C, remove from the oven and allow it to cool. 
2. Strain the cashews and place them in a blender. Mix them together with coconut milk until the mixture becomes completely smooth. Depending on the mixer power, this can take up to 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a small cooking pan, mix almond milk, agar powder and sugar. Wait until the mixture boils and stir evenly.
4. When the mixture boils, reduce the heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, then add coconut oil and stir until it is well dissolved in the mixture.
5. Start the mixer and pour the hot mixture in it so that all ingredients are well blended. Then add lemon juice, lemon peel and vanilla extract and mix briefly several times to properly combine all the ingredients.
6. Pour the mixture onto the prepared pie base and leave it in the refrigerator for about 4 hours. The filling may seem small, but it should be such.
7. When the pie is ready, prepare the topping: mix all the ingredients in a small cooking pot. Boil the mixture, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the topping over the pie and put the pie back in the refrigerator for an hour.
8. Remove the pie from the pan and serve!
