- • ripe avocados: 3 medium
- • freshly squeezed lime juice: 1/3 cup
- • lime zest: 1 tablespoon
- • matcha powder: 2 teaspoons
- • pure vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon

Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 2 In a food processor, combine rolled oats, shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, and Medjool dates. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and holds together when pressed.
- 3 Press the oat-coconut mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool completely.

- 6 Once chilled, remove the tart from the pan and garnish with additional lime zest or sliced limes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Avocado Matcha Lime Tart is best enjoyed chilled, making it a perfect dessert for warm days. Pair it with a cup of lightly steeped green tea to complement the matcha's subtle notes. You could also serve with a side of fresh berries for an extra touch of sweetness and a pop of color. For a refreshing contrast, consider a sprig of fresh mint as a garnish. If you're hosting a gathering, present the tart on a decorative platter with a drizzle of honey, for those who prefer a bit more sweetness. The tart's vibrant green color and creamy texture will surely impress your guests, providing both a visual and culinary delight.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For optimal freshness, place a piece of parchment paper between the tart and the container lid to prevent moisture build-up. If you plan to store it longer, consider freezing individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in a freezer-safe container. This way, you can enjoy a slice of this healthy dessert whenever you crave it.
