Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Add the pecans, pitted dates, and 1/4 tsp sea salt to a food processor and pulse until the mixture clumps together and holds its shape when pressed between your fingers, about 20–25 pulses. Press the crust firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan using the back of a measuring cup or your fingers. Freeze while you prepare the filling.
