Creamy Avocado Lime Tart: A Refreshing Summer Dessert!

Exploring New Flavors: Avocado Lime Tart

As the weather warms up, I find myself craving light and refreshing desserts that are perfect for summertime gatherings. Today, I’m excited to share with you my recipe for a unique Avocado Lime Tart that combines creamy avocado with zesty lime in a delightful dessert that is sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe avocados (about 400g)
• 3 limes, zest and juice
• 100g honey
• 200ml coconut milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 50g coconut oil, melted
• 150g almond flour
• 100g dates, pitted
• 1/4 tsp salt

Kitchen Tools:

• food processor
• tart pan
• zester
• mixing bowl

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a food processor, combine almond flour, dates, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until the mixture comes together. Press the crust into a tart pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden. Let it cool while you prepare the filling.

In the same food processor (no need to clean it), combine ripe avocados, lime zest, lime juice, honey, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour the avocado lime mixture into the cooled tart crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Before serving, garnish the tart with additional lime zest and a sprinkle of coconut flakes, if desired. The tangy lime pairs beautifully with the rich, creamy avocado filling, creating a refreshing and indulgent dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

One creative tip for this recipe is to add a splash of tequila to the avocado lime filling for a fun twist on a classic margarita flavor. The alcohol will cook off during refrigeration, leaving behind a subtle hint of tequila that enhances the bright lime and creamy avocado.

I hope you enjoy making this Avocado Lime Tart as much as I do. Feel free to customize the recipe by experimenting with different toppings or adding a touch of your favorite citrus fruit. Happy baking!
