These super delicious little treats are really simple to make and taste amazing. The avocado and lime filling is smooth and creamy, and the fresh zing of the lime combined with the sweetness of the base makes for a really light and refreshing pudding.

Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup medjool dates
- Pinch sea salt
- Topping;
- 1/2 cup coconut butter
- 1/2 avocado
- Juice 1 lime
- 2 tbsp coconut syrup
- Pinch sea salt
- Lime zest for the top
Directions
- Add the almonds to your food processor and blitz until you get a fine crumb. Add in the dates and blitz again. Finally add in the chia seeds and salt and give it a pulse.
- Cut out little strips of baking paper and then lay them across the bottom of the muffin tins so that the tarts come out easily. Divide the base mix equally between six of the spaces.
- Tap the mix down with a spoon so that the base is firm. Make little indents in the middle then put them in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
- To make the topping add all the ingredients to your food processor and blend until smooth and creamy (aprox 3-4 minutes). Spoon onto the bases.
- Pop the tarts into the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up then transfer to the fridge until eaten.
