Mini avocado key lime pies | vegan

Have you tried an avocado dessert before?

As mentioned above, avocado is so creamy that it works really well in desserts.

For example it can be combined with chocolate to make a delicious avocado chocolate mousse or turned into healthy chocolate ice lollies.

This avocado key lime pie is kid approved

My kid can be suspicious of new foods - especially if they're green!

But they devoured these - not even waiting for them to defrost a little (my sensitive old teeth can't handle that!).

These avocado key lime pies are 100% kid approved here.

1x2x3x

For the crust

• 100 g dates ideally medjool, chopped
• 100 g cashew nuts ideally soaked in water for a few hours
• 20 g desiccated coconut
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (linseed)

For the filling

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 limes zest and juice
• 60 ml maple syrup

Instructions

 

• Grease four 10 cm loose bottomed mini tart tins - if you don't have these you can use ramekins instead.
• Place 100g chopped dates*, 100g cashews, 20g desiccated coconut and a tablespoon ground flaxseed in a food processor or blender and process until well combined.
• Put a few spoonfuls of the date mixture into the bottom of each tin and press down with your fingers.
• Place in the freezer while you make the filling.
• Clean the food processor or blender then place the avocado flesh, the lime juice, half of the zest and the maple syrup into the food processor.
• Pulse until completely combined.
• Remove the tart crusts from the freezer and pour over the filling.
• Replace in the freezer for at least an hour. Remove 10 minutes before serving and then carefully remove from the tins. If you've used ramekins you'll probably need to eat them straight from the dish.
• Enjoy!

Notes

1. If your dates are quite dry you may need to add a few drops of water.
