4. 3. Transfer the nut mixture to a large bowl and add raisins and spices. Mix until well-combined.
5. 4. In the food processor, process carrots, coconut and pineapple until fine. (I should have processed mine for a bit longer!)
6. 5. Add the carrot mixture to the nut mixture and mix until very well combined.
7. 6. Press into a lightly greased 8" to 9" springform pan, using a spatula to pat down edges so surface is flat.

10. 1. Process together cashews, lemon juice, agave, vanilla, coconut and coconut milk.
11. 2. Then add in the melted coconut oil.

14. 5. Put back in the fridge and let it chill for a few hours until set.
