Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, pulse together the raw almonds and 1 cup of the raw pistachios until they are finely ground.
Add 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and a pinch of salt to the nut mixture, then pulse until well mixed.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Make sure it's packed tightly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
In the cleaned food processor, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of raw pistachios, coconut cream, remaining 1/4 cup of maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth.
In a small saucepan, combine the water and agar-agar powder. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the agar-agar is completely dissolved.
Pour the agar-agar mixture into the pistachio blend in the food processor and blend again until fully combined.
Pour the pistachio cream into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the tart for at least 3 hours, or until the filling is set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with chopped pistachios or your favorite dairy-free whipped topping.
Slice and enjoy your dairy-free pistachio tart!
