Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Chilling Time 1 hour hr
Total Time 1 hour hr 20 minutes mins
For the base:
- 1/4 cup Coconut Oil (melted)
- 1/2 cup Coconut flour ((or Tigernut flour))
- 2 tbsp Carob Powder (or Cocoa Powder if not on AIP)
- 3 cups Dates (pitted (make sure they're soft, if not, soak in hot water for 15 minutes first. This is about 12 oz of dates))
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 tbsp Water
For the filling:
- 2 ripe Avocados
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil (melted)
- 1/4 cup Coconut Milk ((or Tigernut Milk))
- 4 tbsp Carob Powder (or Cocoa Powder if not AIP)
- Pinch Sea Salt
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
Prepare the base by adding all of the ingredients for the base into a food processor and processing until the mixture is soft and sticks together when pinched.
Press evenly into a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom or pie pan and then put into the freezer to set. (This slices and removes from the pan best if you can put a piece of parchment down on the bottom first)
Meanwhile, make the filling by adding the filling ingredients to the food processor and processing until smooth and creamy.
Take the tart base out of the freezer and pour the filling in, then spread evenly.
Put the tart back into the freezer for at least an hour to set.
Remove from the freezer about 15 minutes prior to serving (but best removed from pan and slice while frozen). Serve with a sprinkling of large-flake sea salt.
Make Ahead: This is a great dessert you can store in your freezer for up to 6 months. If you are not eating the same day, wrap the whole tart in plastic wrap and store in the freezer.
For easy, long-term storage, slice up the tart once frozen. Then wrap each slice individually in plastic wrap. Store the tart slices in a freezer-safe container. Now you have a delicious dessert to satisfy any holiday cravings while staying on AIP!
