Soak the raisins until soft, ~10-20 minutes.


Prepare your cake pan by rubbing the inside with a little coconut oil to prevent sticking.


For the base / crust layer, drain the raisins and combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse the mixture until the seeds have broken down into small pieces and everything is well mixed and a sticky 'dough' forms.


Transfer the mixture into the bottom of your prepared cake pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture into an smooth layer, making the edges slightly higher than the center. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.


Rinse the food processor, then add all the filling ingredients. Mix on medium-high speed until well combined and smooth, 1 - 2 minutes. Taste and adjust as needed, more lime or sweetness.


Pour the filling over the crust layer of the cake. Tap the container on the counter several times to help release any air bubbles. Use a spatula to even the top.


Freeze for 4+ hours, until set!


Before serving, decorate with your favorite toppings. Let thaw ~10 minutes before cutting and serving.


Store in the freezer up to 1 month.
