STEP 2: The Crust
  1. Toss 1 Cup of Raisins and 1.5 Cups of Walnuts into a food processor and process for about 2 minutes, or until it all starts clumping together. Use more of each if you want a thicker crust.
  2. Press the processed clumps into the Spring Form pan, covering the bottom and going up the sides an inch or two.
  3. Place in freezer for 30 minutes before the filling finishes dehydrating.
