Spread the avocado cream over the cookie base and refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours. Decorate the surface with lemon zest and serve as a dessert or at teatime. ## Additional Tips ### Use very ripe avocados Ripe, buttery avocados blend into the smoothest cream and need no extra liquid. ### Do not skip the lime The lime juice slows the oxidation of the avocado and keeps the cream green. ### Cover it well Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the cream in the fridge to keep air away and avoid browning. | Original ingredient | Substitute | Ratio | Flavor note | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Condensed milk | Coconut condensed milk | 1 can | Dairy free | | Condensed milk | Greek yogurt with honey | 1 cup + 3 tablespoons | Lighter | | Pica limes | Key limes or regular limes | 2 | Similar acidity | | Whole wheat cookies | Vanilla cookies | 300 g | Sweeter base | ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) ### 1. Does avocado tart need an oven? No, it is made entirely without an oven. It only needs at least 2 hours in the fridge to firm up before serving. ### 2. How do I keep the avocado cream from turning dark? The lime juice slows the browning, so do not leave it out. Cover the tart well in the fridge and eat it within 2 days. ### 3. How long does it keep in the fridge? Up to 2 days, well covered. After that the avocado begins to oxidize and its flavor and color change. ### 4. What size mold do I need? A round mold about 15 cm (6 inches) across serves 4. With a larger mold the crust and cream will be thinner, so scale up the ingredients in proportion. ## Can I Replace the Condensed Milk? You can use coconut condensed milk or a mix of Greek yogurt and honey as lighter alternatives, although the cream will be slightly less firm. ## Avocado in Chile Chileans call avocado palta, from the Quechua word, and it is a daily staple spread on bread, added to sandwiches, and served with almost everything. ## Did You Know?
