It is vegan and gluten free. The recipe is from the Fiber diet cookbook.
Ingredients
13 pitted dates
1 cup almonds

Pinch salt
1 cup raw cashews, soaked in warm water for at least 20 min, then drained
1 cup chopped strawberries
½ cup full fat canned coconut milk
1/3 cup maple syrup
Juice of 1 large lemon
Instructions:
1. Prepare the crust:
Add the dates in a food processor and process until a thick paste forms. Remove from the processor. Add the almonds, cacao powder, and salt to the processor and process until the nuts are broken down into a fine crumb. Add the dates and process until combined.
Prepare a muffin tin with muffin cups. Place 2 tbsp of the crust in the bottom of each muffin cup.
2. Prepare the strawberry filling:
Add the cashews, strawberries, coconut milk, maple syrup and lemon juice in a food processor and puree until very creamy and smooth. Pour the filling on the prepared crust and place in the freezer for 3-4 hours, until hardened.
