Ingredients You Need for Key Lime Tart [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

For the Base:
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup dates
  • 3/4 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated or dried ginger (optional)
  • A pinch of sea salt

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups ripe avocado
  • 1 cup lime segments
  • 3/4 cup coconut oil, softened and chilled
  • 1/3 cup coconut nectar
  • 3 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • A pinch of sea salt

For the Topping:

  • 3/4 cup coconut cream (scoop the firm part off the top of a can)
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • Extra zest for garnish

How to Prepare Key Lime Tart [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Blend all the base ingredients in a food processor until chunky like breadcrumbs, so that it sticks together between your fingers but still has some nice texture to it.
  2. Pour into your tart tin that’s lined with clear wrap. Press the base in and up the edges, moving around the sides with your palm, thumb, and fingers to get a nice even thickness on all sides. Pop the base in the freezer while you prep your filling.
  3. Blend all your filling ingredients in a high-speed blender until super creamy and smooth. There should be no lumps or avocado bits at all, it needs to be completely smooth so there's not avocado flavor left. Remove your tart shell from the freezer and pour in the filling, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Then place in the refrigerator overnight to set.
  4. For the optional topping, blend the coconut cream and cashews until super smooth, then dollop in the center and pop back in the refrigerator for a few hours to set. Alternatively, you can serve the cream separately.
