White chocolate and avocado tarts

Babiche Martens

For a last minute, no-bake, decadent dessert, try this white chocolate and avocado tart with a stunning creamy filling on an oaty base. It’s best to make the filling as close to serving as possible, allowing for 30 minutes in the freezer. Lemon is essential to ensure the tart doesn’t brown. With fresh berries on top and a sprinkle of white chocolate, this is the perfect finale to a meal.
