NO BAKE AVOCADO CHEESECAKE

he dessert should be made the night before, which means you don?t need to stress the day of.  The graham cracker crust and the avocado cheesecake filling are fairly easy to make, with the food processor doing most of the work.

The cheesecake filling is quite incredible. It tastes so amazing on its own that I just wanted to plop down on the my kitchen floor and dig in with a spoon? forget making it into a cheesecake! You can taste the avocados and the cream cheese. It tastes lighter than your classic cheesecake but also rich and creamy at the same time with the avocado substitute.

Because this is a no-bake cheesecake, it is more delicate then your classic cheesecake. Think of a thick custard or pudding. The filling is stable but once it sits outside of the fridge for a few hours, it will soften making it difficult to get clean slices. I definitely recommend keeping the cake chilled under you are ready to serve. Or if you?re afraid of the cake getting messy, you can make these as individual cheesecakes in glasses or jars.

RECIPE TIPS
Because this graham cracker crust is no-bake, it is more delicate than a baked crust. If you don?t mind baking, you can bake the crust for about 10 minutes at 350F, which will make the crust a little more sturdy.
I also purposely made the crust extra thick so that it will be more sturdy (and because I love crust!)
If you are planning on serving this dessert in very warm weather or the dessert will be sitting out for a while, you can also make these as individual cheesecakes in jars or glasses. This way you don?t have to worry about the cake getting soft and messy when you?re trying to cut into it.

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and cubed
• 12 oz cream cheese
• 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• juice and zest of one lime
• GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST
• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs* (see notes)
• 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
• 4 tbsp butter, melted

DIRECTIONS:

1. To prepare the crust, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter into a bowl.  Mix until everything is evenly combined. Pour crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform cake pan. Use the bottom side of a heavy mug to press and compact the crumbs so that it becomes a solid crust. The more you can compact it, the more sturdy your crust will be and it will be less likely to fall apart when slicing.
2. Place crust into the fridge to chill for at least one hour before pouring filling over it.
3. Add heavy cream to a mixing bowl of a stand mixer and mix on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
4. Add avocados, cream cheese, sugar, lime juice and zest into food processor and blend until smooth. Add in the whipped heavy cream and pulse until smooth and thick.
5. Spoon avocado cheesecake filling into springform pan. Use a spatula to smooth surface. If you have an icing smoother or similar straight edge tool, you can use that to help create a very smooth and even surface. Wrap the springform pan tightly with plastic wrap (this will help prevent the surface of the avocado from browning or yellowing). Allow the cake to chill overnight or for at least 6 hours.
6. Right before serving, decorate your cake with either whipped cream or fresh fruit. If for some reason the surface of the avocado filling has browned slightly, you can gently scrape that off with your icing smoother before decorating. Slice cake and serve while cake is still chilled. The cake is best eaten cold as the filling will soften slightly when left out at room temperature.
7. * 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs is equal to 10 sheets or one sleeve of graham crackers. In the US, typically graham crackers come in sheets with each sheet having four squares. There are usually ten sheets in one plastic sleeve. I recommend running the crackers through a high powered blender or food processor until you have very fine crumbs.
8. Because this graham cracker crust is no-bake, it is more delicate than a baked crust. If you don't mind baking, you can bake the crust for about 10 minutes at 350F, which will make the crust a little more sturdy.
