Equipment
- Food Processor
- Chef's Knife
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 2 Avocado
- 1/4 cup Lime juice
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 1/4 teaspoons Lime zest divided
- 1/2 cup Pistachios chopped
- 1/2 cup Dates (about 12 medjool dates)
- 1/4 cup Shredded coconut unsweetened
- Kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Using an electric mixer, combine the avocado flesh, lime juice, honey, coconut oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of the lime zest and mix until smooth and creamy.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the remaining lime zest, pistachios, dates, coconut and salt and pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.
- Place a heaping scoop of the avocado puree in a glass or bowl and top with a scoop of the pistachio/date crumble.
- Layer another scoop of the avocado puree, top with the date/pistachio crumble and finish with a scoop of whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days to maintain freshness.
- Freezing: While the avocado mixture can freeze, it’s best enjoyed fresh due to the texture. If you freeze it, be sure to let it thaw before serving.
- Pairing: This dessert pairs well with a cup of herbal tea or a refreshing glass of iced green tea, making it a perfect finish to a light meal.
- Flavor Variations: Experiment with different toppings like granola, fresh berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
- Nut-Free Option: If you’re avoiding nuts, substitute the pistachios with a simple crumble made from oats or crushed cookies for added texture.
