For the Filling:
1-In a small heatproof bowl, cover the cashews with hot water and allow to soak for 15 minutes to soften. Drain and discard the liquid.
2-Wipe out the food processor. Still using the blade attachment, blend the softened cashews, coconut cream, coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla and salt until very smooth. Taste and add more juice and zest if you desire more pucker. Scrape the filling into the tart crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for 4 freeze, or until the center filling is set.
