FAQ

Can I make these without a food processor?

A high-powered blender can work but may require stopping to scrape sides frequently. Food processor gives best texture for the crust.

How long do these keep in the freezer?

Up to 3 months in freezer-safe container. Thaw 10 minutes before serving for softer texture.

Can I substitute the cashews?

Soaked macadamia nuts or blanched almonds work well. Cashews give the creamiest result but other nuts will work.
