  • Number of servings:

Ingredients:

  • Crust

  • 2 cups almond flour, plus more for dusting and as needed
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 5 large Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1–2 tsp. warm water (if needed for binding)
  • Filling

  • 3 ripe, fresh avocados, halved, pitted and peeled
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • Zest of 1 lime

Instructions:

  1. Make the Crust

  2. Soften the Dates: Place pitted Medjool dates in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit for at least 5 minutes to soften. Drain and mash with a fork until smooth.
  3. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour and sea salt. Add ¼ cup melted coconut oil and mashed dates. Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything until a dough forms. If the mixture feels too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons warm water and mix again.
  1. Assemble the Crust

  2. Press into Pie Tin: Line an 8-inch pie tin with parchment paper (optional, for easy removal). Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides.
  3. Chill to Set: Place the crust in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up before adding your filling.
  1. Make the Filling

  2. In the food processor or a big bowl, blend or mash avocados, maple syrup, 1½ Tbsp. coconut oil, lime juice, and ½ teaspoon sea salt until smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed (add more maple syrup if desired or extra lime juice if the avocados are overripe).

Ingredient Substitutions
Almonds/Pecans: Use walnut, cashew, or sunflower seed flour for a nut-free version.
Shredded Coconut: Skip.
Dates: Replace with figs, prunes, honey or maple syrup.
Maple Syrup: Substitute with honey or a sugar-free sweetener like monk fruit.
Coconut Oil: Use avocado oil or olive oil for a slightly different texture, although this will cause the tart filling to be runnier.
Lime Juice: Swap with lemon, orange or grapefruit juice for a slightly different citrus flavor.
