Step 5

Pulse until everything has combined.

Step 6

Divide the mixture evenly between the 12 muffin cups and press it down until it is packed down and no loose parts remain. (see picture above)

Step 7

Place the muffin pan in the freezer for the bases to firm up. Chill for at least 15 minutes.

Step 8

Add the almonds, coconut milk, lemon juice, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla to a high speed blender.

Step 9

Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to use your blender's tamper to keep it going.

Step 11

Remove from freezer 15-20 minutes before serving so they can thaw a bit. Garnish and serve.
