This lime and avocado tart has a creamy avocado coconut filling with a coconut pecan crust. It’s super easy to make, vegan and gluten-free!

You’ve seen me use avocado in dessert recipes before for my avocado truffles and mint chip avocado ice cream and I’m doing it yet again! This time with a creamy lime avocado tart that’s fresh and flavorful.

Avocado Lime Tart Ingredients:

There are two main components in this tart: the crust and the filling. Here’s what you need for the crust:

  • shredded unsweetened coconut
  • chopped pecans
  • medjool dates
  • lime zest
  • sea salt

And here’s what you need for the filling:

  • avocados
  • fresh squeezed lime juice
  • coconut nectar, maple syrup or honey
  • coconut oil
  • lime zest

Choosing a Pan for This Tart

I’ve made these tart in different ways – in a 9-inch springform pan, in an 8-inch tart pan and in four mini springform pans. You could even put the ingredients in small ramekins or a mini cupcake pan. Just make sure the tarts are frozen when you try to remove them from the cupcake tin or they won’t come out properly.

Once the tart has set in the freezer, it’s ready to serve. You can take it out to thaw for about 10-15 minutes before serving, or you can certainly eat it earlier if you like the frozen texture.

As I mention below in the recipe, if you let it sit out too long, the filling will soften, almost like a pudding, so make sure to store any leftovers back in the freezer.

Ingredients  

Crust

Tart Filling

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

Instructions 

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Pour the avocado filling over the crust and use a spoon to make sure the filling is even and smooth.
  • 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

  • If you don’t need this recipe to be vegan you can use honey for the sweetener in the filling.

    When I tasted a bit of the lime/avocado mixture, before it had been in the freezer. I was sure that my husband wouldn’t eat it, as I could taste the avocado. However, after it had been frozen and was still cold, we both loved it. You can’t taste the avocado at all. Thank you Brittany for creating another wonderful dish.

  2. This looks delicious! I have family members who are allergic to coconut. For the filling, can I omit the coconut flakes?

    This recipe is amazing!!! It’s super simple, and since it doesn’t require cooking it’s really nice to be able to make it during the hot weather. This past weekend we had it with lime, and it was so good that I wanted it again today. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any more limes, so I decided to substitute lemons instead. It was still SO good. Make it now, you won’t regret it!

    My friend has major dietary allergies including gluten, rice, soy, dairy, chocolate, pecans, peanuts, eggs, and coconut. She loved it! And since my family can have everything on the recipe, I also made it with the original recipe and everyone to raves about it. Even my daughter who has hated avocado since birth liked it! We added vegan whipped cream on top which is a great contrast with the tart lime. I will try key limes next time! Delicious recipe!

  5. Hi!
    You mention a spring form pan, however, in your video you use a tart pan where the bottom comes out. I have both but wondering which one works best. Thanks!

    Wow this was really really good (from the bowl lickings anyway;)
    I used normal dates and soaked them in hot water to make them softer, and it worked perfectly! You wouldn’t know that the ingredients are healthy because it is so creamy and delish. Having for dessert tonight so really looking forward to it!
