Instructions

Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with a round of parchment paper. Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse 8–10 times until coarsely chopped. Add the pitted dates and 1/4 tsp salt, then process continuously until the mixture clumps together and holds its shape when pressed between your fingers, about 1–2 minutes.

Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared pan and press it firmly and evenly across the bottom using the flat bottom of a measuring cup or glass, building it up slightly at the edges. Place the pan in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
