Avocado Lime Tart

Whether you are simply craving a little sweetness or looking for a dessert idea for a special occasion, look no further than this refreshing no-bake avocado lime tart with fresh lime juice and delicious crust made from dates, coconut, and almond butter—it's all vegan too. Incredibly easy to make, all that is needed is a springform pan and a food processor to make this light and not overly sweet creation. And yes, a bit of patience is required, because the tart needs to chill in the fridge for at least five hours before serving to allow the ingredients to set, but it's well worth the wait, and your guests won't be disappointed either.

Make sure to get avocados that are soft and not too firm to ensure easy and even blending. Cashew butter may be used in place of almond butter if desired.

flesh of 2 ripe avocados
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
