Healthy Key Lime Tart(s) - Vegan recipe

[Tasty]

Name of Recipe:Key Lime Tart (slightly adapted from Peggy Kotsopoulos's recipe Key Lime Mousse Pie)
Number of People:8-10 (for 20cm tart)
Ingredients:

Chocolate Macaroon Crust:

1 1/3 (150g) cups pecans
1 1/3 cups (210g) raisins
2/3 cup (50g) coconut flakes
4 tablespoons  cocoa powder

Filling:

2 avocados
˝ cup lime juice (3 juicy limes)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 cup maple syrup/coconut nectar


Preparation:

This can make a 20cm tart (which I made) otherwise it makes smaller tarts. If doing smaller tarts, you can halve the amount of filling.

BASE:

Place all macaroon crust ingredients in TMX and Turbo – 5 times and then Speed 6 until all ingredients are finely processed and start to ‘stick together’, approximately 10 seconds.


Press into tart tin and up sides. Use wet spoon to smooth over OR place into smaller tart  tins, etc.

Place in fridge while preparing filling.

FILLING:

Place all ingredients in TMX bowl and blend for 30 seconds – Speed 9 until creamy and smooth.

Pour into tart tin/moulds and refrigerate for at least an hour or until ready to serve. I found it was firmer if frozen.

The filling is very silky and smooth and amaaaazzzinnngggg for when freshly made.

Tips/Hints:

This is a great vegan recipe and could also be added to that section of forum.

The lime juice in this recipe means you can't taste the avocado. It tastes best if eaten on the day it's made.

I have made it several times now and people keep going back for more.

Tasty this would be really healthy. Can you taste the avocado? My mob won't eat it if they know it has avocado in.

Cookie this is really similar to quirky jo's raw macadamia lime cheesecake I have made for Mother's Day lunch. After bowl lickings I can say no way can you taste the avocado. In fact my three mere males wont eat avocado so I have told them its green from the lime juice Mums the word

Thanks.

I found this is a lot easier to make than quirky jo's cake. This filling also has a lot more lime juice and so you can't taste the avocado. It tastes the best if eaten on the day it's made.

I have made it several times now and people keep going back for more.

Not being an avocado lover myself I'm glad I read all the comments 

I shall have to give it a go, but I may try dates instead of raisins in the crust.

Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I have bought the avocados and have all the ingredients   I just have to wait for everyone to go out so that I can make it and they don't know what is in it.
