METHOD
Pulse every ingredient for the base until well processed but still slightly crumbly. Press the mixture into the base of the silicone mold.
In a high-speed blender, place every ingredient for the lemon layer and blend well until smooth. Add more sweetener and lemon juice if you need. Layer the filling above the base. Freeze them until set.
Place all the ingredients for the cashew cream in a food processor or blender and blend well until smooth. If your cream is too thick, add coconut milk or your choice of plant milk as needed to get your desired consistency. Spread the cream over the lemon layer. Freeze it overnight.
