Mint Cheese Cake

Here's the recipe I ended up using. It was a hit! The crust comes from
"Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine" and the filling was what I got from Loves
Life. Enjoy! Cristi

Raw Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake
Crust:
2 C. pecans (soak 1 -2 hrs., drain & rinse)

Process all ingredients in a food processor with the "S" blade until the
mixture becomes sticky and forms a ball.
Press into pie plate and chill while making filling.

well, let sit, & mix again.
Mix in cashews and avocado. Blend in, scrape down sides of blender and mix
