Description

A refreshing and creamy Lime and Avocado Tart featuring a crunchy coconut-pecan crust and a silky avocado lime filling. This no-bake dessert combines natural sweetness from dates and coconut nectar with vibrant lime zest and juice for a perfect balance of tropical flavors.

Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup medjool dates (about 12 dates)
  • 1-2 teaspoons lime zest
  • Pinch of sea salt

For the Filling

  • 4 avocados (about 1 1/2 cups avocado puree)
  • 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 cup coconut nectar, maple syrup, or agave
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons lime zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Process shredded coconut, chopped pecans, medjool dates, lime zest, and a pinch of sea salt in a food processor or mini chopper. Blend until the dates turn into a sticky paste that binds the crust ingredients together. Remove the mixture from the processor and evenly press it into the bottom of a springform pan. Place the pan in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling: In a high-speed blender or food processor, blend the avocado puree, fresh lime juice, coconut nectar (or maple syrup/agave), coconut oil, and lime zest until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble the tart: Pour the creamy avocado filling over the set crust in the springform pan. Use a spoon to spread the filling evenly and smooth the surface.
  4. Set the tart: Return the assembled tart to the freezer and allow it to set for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for best firmness. When ready to serve, remove the tart from the freezer, unlock and remove the springform pan, and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. Slice and serve. Leftovers should be stored back in the freezer.

Notes

  • You can substitute pecans with other nuts like walnuts or almonds if preferred.
  • The tart is best served cold but soften it slightly by letting it sit out for a few minutes for a creamier texture.
  • Use ripe avocados for the smoothest, creamiest filling.
  • The sweetness level can be adjusted by varying the amount of coconut nectar or syrup.
  • This dessert is naturally gluten-free, vegan, and does not require baking.
