Strawberry/Cashew Cream Pie!

 This is a Strawberry/Cashew Cream Pie! I added mangoes too because I love the strawberry/mango combo and it added color! The crust is an almond/date/honey/shredded coconut mixture. The filling is strawberry puree and psyllium. The Cashew Cream frosting is made with cashews, agave, coconut water and vanilla extract. This is a recipe by Wendy Rudell and I have been wanting to make it for a very long time!

The aftermath of my kitchen!!!! But don't worry, it did not take too long to clean!!
At one point my blender exploded cashew cream frosting everywhere because the consistency became too thick for my blender to breathe... this is why I need a Vitamix! Anyway, I ended up getting frosting all over my face, eyelids, hair and the kitchen! Its all part of cooking... right?

I had some extra crust mixture since my dessert pan was smaller than the recommended. I rolled the mixture and rubbed it into shredded coconut to put in the dehydrator. I also decided to dehydrate the rest of the mangoes (my boyfriend loves dehydrated fruit!)
