AVOCADO LIME TARTLET (NO-BAKE)
The Avocado Lime Tartlet is a fresh and zesty unbaked dessert that blends creamy avocado with citrus brightness and a subtly sweet almond crust. Made from only five wholesome ingredients, this individual vegan tartlet is both satisfying and nutrient-rich. The crushed almond and coconut oil base adds a nutty crunch, while the avocado-lime filling offers a silky smooth contrast with a vibrant twist. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and free from dairy, gluten and refined sugars, this treat fits seamlessly into clean-eating lifestyles. It’s a perfect make-ahead option for spring or summer gatherings, but equally suited to casual snacking or a light post-meal indulgence. Best of all, it requires no oven time just a simple mix, press and chill approach. Beautifully green, deliciously creamy and wonderfully simple, this tartlet delivers flavour and freshness in every bite.

TIPS
- Use Ripe Avocado: A soft and ripe avocado will give the best creamy texture.
- Line Moulds For Easy Removal: Use silicone cups or line ramekins with parchment for mess-free release.
- Chill Thoroughly: Ensure enough chill time for the base to set and the flavours to meld beautifully.
- Zest For Extra Flavour: Add a touch of lime zest to the filling for enhanced citrus aroma.
VARIATIONS
- Nut-Free Base: Replace almonds with crushed sunflower seeds or gluten-free oat flakes.
- Add Texture: Sprinkle shredded coconut or cacao nibs on top before chilling.
- Citrus Twist: Use lemon juice instead of lime for a more subtle tang.
- Protein Boost: Add ½ tsp unflavoured vegan protein powder to the avocado filling.
- Chocolate Shell: Add 1 tsp cacao powder to the almond base for a chocolatey crust.
