Introduction

My adaptation of this raw, gluten- free, wheat-free, soy-free, and vegan dessert from the Engine 2 Diet book, thanks to author Rip Esselstyn, adapted by using raw cashews, and ground almonds instead of whole ((since I had some). I found the recipe asking for 4 ounces of strawberries which I had thought was equal to 1/2 cup, but I weighed them and 4 ounces roughly equals 1 cup.
