Scale

Ingredients

For the filling:

2 avocados
2 small limes, juice and zest
1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut oil
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) agave syrup

For the crust:

1/2 cup (75g) pitted dates (not soaked)
1/4 cup (40g) almonds
1/4 cup (40g) cashews
1 pinch of salt

For decoration:

1 Tablespoon shredded coconut
1/2 lime (zest only)
1 handful raspberries

Instructions

Line a muffin tin with paper cups, or grease the cavities if you do not use paper cups.
For the filling: mix all the ingredients together with a blender. Set aside.
For the crust: in a food processor, mix the dates, almonds and cashews together until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and stir well.
Press the crust into the greased or lined muffin tin, up to 1/4 to 1/3 height.
Spoon in the filling.
Cover with plastic film, creating contact between the filling and the film, and place in the freezer* for 1-2 hours. If it freezes hard like ice cream, just leave out 10 minutes before serving.
Sprinkle some shredded coconut, lime zest, and place a fresh raspberry on top. Enjoy!

Notes

* It’s important here to freeze instead of placing in the refrigerator, that would result in the oxidation of the avocado filling, which we do not want here.
