This Avocado Key Lime Pie in a Jar is a refreshing, paleo, and vegan-friendly dessert that combines a nutty coconut-pecan crust with a creamy avocado and lime filling. Perfectly sweetened with honey and chilled to perfection, these individual jars are an elegant and healthy treat for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1/2 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup raw pecans
  • 1/3 cup Medjool dates, pitted and halved (about 3 to 4)
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt

Filling

  • 2 large ripe avocados, not browned
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 1/2 tbsp raw honey or other liquid sweetener
  • 2 tbsp coconut butter
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt
  • Zest from 1/2 lime, for garnish

Topping (Optional)

  • Coconut whipped cream
  • Lime slices and extra lime zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a food processor or blender, pulse the shredded coconut, pecans, Medjool dates, and 1/8 tsp kosher salt until the mixture sticks together when pressed. Evenly divide this crust mixture among jars as the base and set aside.
  2. Make the Filling: Clean the food processor or blender then add the ripe avocados, lime juice, raw honey, coconut butter, and 1/8 tsp kosher salt. Blend until the mixture is very smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Assemble and Chill: Spoon the creamy avocado lime filling over the crust layer inside each jar. Place the jars in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the filling set.
  4. Serve: When ready to enjoy, optionally top each jar with coconut whipped cream. Garnish with lime slices and a sprinkle of lime zest for a bright, fresh finish.

Notes

  • For a sweeter pie, add extra honey or substitute with maple syrup to keep it vegan.
  • Ensure avocados are ripe and creamy for the best texture.
  • The crust can be made nut-free by substituting pecans with seeds, such as sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
  • To make coconut whipped cream, refrigerate coconut cream overnight and whip the solid part until fluffy.
  • Serve chilled for best flavor and texture.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within 2 days for freshness.
