Ingredients
- Crust:
- 1.5 cups unsweetened coconut
- 1.5 to 2 cups pitted dates soaked for about 20 minutes in hot water
- Filling:
- 4 medium to large perfectly ripe avocados remove pit and scoop out of the peel
- 1 cup pitted dates soaked for about 20 minutes

- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- dash of fine Himalayan salt

Instructions
- Crust:
- First, you will start by removing the pits and soaking the dates for the crust in hot water.
- Next, drain the dates after 20 minutes and add to the food processor along with the coconut.
- Then, pulse until you have a well combined mixture that is starting to crumble. (The first time I made this I used the blender-that made more of a paste like consistency, still quite tasty, but not quite the crisp crust some might be looking for).
- Line a tart pan with plastic wrap and then press the mixture in evenly and with firm pressure.
- Cover and let chill while you make the rest of the tart.
- Filling:
- First you will soak your pitted dates for about 20 minutes, just as before. Then drain and place in the blender or mixer along with the rest of the ingredients. Blend or mix until completely smooth and creamy.
- Finally, pour this mixture into the chilled tart crust and return to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours before planning to slice and serve.
