10 minute Key lime pudding

Key lime  pudding recipe – this key lime pudding is a great alkaline friendly dessert. Made with limes, zest, avocados, coconut nectar and vanilla pod.

What do you do when you’re absolutely inundated with a bunch of avocados? You put them to good use by making a 10 minute key lime pudding, full of healthy omega fats, zesty and a dessert that will knock your socks off.

Granted you can shop around and purchase them singularly for a reasonable amount of money, but I prefer to buy in bulk, leave them until they’re firm/ripe and then dive right in.

This huge amount that I’m referring to was courtesy of Costco. I didn’t purposely go there to pick some avocados, it was a impromptu last minute decision which I’m pleased about.

Tips of purchasing fruit in bulk

I do recommend purchasing not just avocado pear but in fact any fruit or vegetable in bulk as this save times and money in the grand scheme of things. Depending on the produce, you could always chop it up at it’s peak, freeze and consume at your leisure.

The taste of key lime pudding

Key lime  pudding is quite an interesting mix, firstly if you’re not a huge fan of avocados – be it as a pudding or otherwise, then you’ll have to sit this one out and secondly.

I would summarise the pudding as quite tart or zesty because of the use of both the rind and the juice of the lime – that’s a double serving of vitamin c, don’t forgot that.

Ingredients to make key lime avocado pudding 

• Avocados 
• Lime
• Lime zest
• Coconut nectar
• Coconut oil
• Vanilla pod/extract

I must admit I’m not the greatest fan of a zesty dessert. I like them to be subtle in taste and certainly not overpowering which is exactly what this pudding is, a subtle hint of lime whipped into the sweet creamy texture of the avocado.

How to make key lime pudding

Note and tips for making a 10 minute lime key pudding

• Do make sure your avocados are ripe and slightly soft to the touch prior to use.
• In terms of how sweet you want this pudding to be I found using 4-5 tablespoons of a low glycemix index sweetener such as maple syrup, raw agave nectar or coconut nectar was suffice.
• To make the recipe keto simply use erythritol instead
• Frozen avocado works well for this recipe to but you may need to soften it prior to pureeing.
• If possible use a high speed blender to ensure a smooth pureed consistency.
