Raw Cashew Mascarpone Cheesecake drapped in Blackberries



After work last week we decided to get over our very deep desire to watch a movie on the couch and bike over to Discovery Park. It was a beautiful evening and we wanted to pick blackberries.
It ended up being a great evening. It felt slow and active. We picked a ton, ton, of blackberries as the sun went down over the water then we biked home. I made a bunch of blackberry hand pies and put them in the freezer but we still had a lot left. I didn't want to turn on the oven so I tweaked an old recipe and love! how it turned out.

crust:
1 cup pistachios
1/2 cup hazelnuts
4 tbs ghee
pinch of salt

1   beat ingredients in food processor
2   mash the crust into a lightly oiled tart tint along the bottom and up the sides
    and place in freezer
topping:
2 cups blackberries
1/4 cup sugar

1   bring mixture to a simmer and let cook on medium heat until juice is reduced by half
2   let cool

1 1/2 cup cashews; soaked overnight or for at least 3 hours
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup coconut cream
