Lime and Avocado Tart

This Lime and Avocado Tart features a no-bake crust made from shredded coconut, pecans, and dates, giving it a naturally sweet and chewy texture with a hint of lime zest. The creamy filling blends ripe avocados with fresh lime juice and sweeteners, resulting in a smooth and tangy dessert that firms up in the freezer. The interplay between the crunchy crust and the rich avocado layer offers a refreshing tart that's ideal for warm days or whenever a light, dairy-free dessert is desired.

Ingredients

Crust
  • 1/2 cup coconut shredded, unsweetened
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 cup Medjool dates about 12 dates
  • 1-2 teaspoons lime zest
  • pinch of sea salt
Tart Filling
  • 4 avocado about 1 1/2 cups of avocado puree
  • 1/2 cup lime juice fresh squeezed
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave
  • 1/2 cup coconut nectar or agave
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons lime zest

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Process the crust ingredients (coconut, pecans, dates, lime zest and sea salt) in a food processor or mini chopper until the dates have turned into sticky paste holding the crust ingredients together. Take mixture out of the processor and press evenly into your springform pan. Place pan in freezer while you make the tart filling.
  2. While the crust is setting in the freezer, blend ingredients for the filling (avocados, lime juice, agave or maple syrup, coconut oil and lime zest) in a high-speed blender or food processor until creamy.
  3. Pour the avocado filling over the crust and use a spoon to make sure the filling is even and smooth.
  4. Place pan in the freezer to set up, at least 2 hours, but can be overnight. Take out of freezer, remove the springform pan, let sit out for 10-15 minutes, cut into slices and serve. The longer it sits out, the filling will soften and become more like pudding. It still tastes amazing, but not as firm. Store any leftovers back in the freezer.

Notes

  • Non-vegan option: substitute honey for the filling sweeteners if a vegan diet is not required.
  • Allow the tart to sit out 10-15 minutes before slicing to soften the filling for easier serving.
  • Store leftovers in the freezer to keep the tart firm and fresh.
