Fruit toppings

Instructions:

2. Combine crust ingredients in a food processor and process on high for 3-4 minutes. Mixture is ready when you can press a little between your fingers and it sticks together
3. Spread the crust into the prepared cake pan. Slightly dampen your fingers with water and firmly press the crust into a thin, solid, even layer. Set aside.
4. To prepare the frosting, carefully remove the coconut cream from a can of full fat coconut milk that has been refrigerating at least 12 hours, yielding a ½ cup of cold coconut cream.
5. Combine the cream and honey in the food processor or a small blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes until whipped and creamy.
6. Spread the coconut cream in an even layer on the crust.
7. Top the frosting layer with fresh fruit- you can use as much or as little as you desire.
