Frozen Avocado Lime Coconut Squares Recipe – No Bake, Vegan, Gluten Free Recipe
These Frozen Avocado Lime Coconut Squares have a nutty/coconutty base with a deliciously creamy yet zesty lime filling made with avocado. You would honestly never know they had avocado in them, the filling tastes EXACTLY like key lime pie. They’re also super fast to make as they are a completely raw (no bake) recipe!
So how do I make these Frozen Avocado Lime Coconut Squares from scratch?
This recipe is really simple, needing only two steps before freezing until solid! They are as follows;
-Coconut Base: This nutty base is made with ground almonds, flax seeds, coconut and pureed dates as the sweetener.
-Lime Filling: This creamy tart filling is made with lime juice and zest, coconut oil and a whole avocado.
Coconut Base
To begin making the coconut base for these frozen bars, begin by soaking the chopped dates in a few tablespoons of boiling water for 15-20 minutes until fully softened. Using a hand blender or a small food processor, blend thoroughly until you form a thick paste. Melt the coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl or in a small saucepan. Add this to the pureed dates along with the honey and mix well.
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground almonds, desiccated coconut, oats and ground flax seed. Pour over the date mix and mix everything together until fully combined. Grease and line a loaf tin. Add the base to the loaf tin and spread it evenly.
Lime Filling
To make the lime filling, melt the coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl or in a small saucepan. Add the melted coconut oil to a measuring jug or a small saucepan. Next, add the lime juice, lime zest, honey and a whole avocado. Blend with a hand blender or small food processor until smooth and no lumps remain.
Pour onto the coconut base and smooth over evenly with a small offset palette knife. Freeze for 1-2 hours until fully solid. Cut into small squares. Keep any leftovers in the freezer in an airtight container or Ziploc bag for up to 3 months.
