I love Mexican food, but I think Mexican desserts are limited. Flan is great, but not every time. This Mexican-inspired avocado and lime cheesecake recipe is unique, easy, and fabulous. My friends constantly ask me to make it. You must have an ice cream maker.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 0.75 cups white sugar
- 1.5 ripes avocados , peeled and pitted
- 2 packages cream cheese , 3 ounce
- 0.5 cups fresh lime juice
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust , 8 inch
Instructions
-
1
Heat cream in a small saucepan until small bubbles appear around the edges. Remove from the heat and stir in sugar until it dissolves. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl and allow to cool, about 10 minutes.
-
2
Blend avocado and cream cheese in a food processor until smooth. Add lime juice and process until smooth.
-
3
Whisk blended avocado mixture into cooled cream mixture, then pour into an ice cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes.
-
4
Spoon avocado mixture into the prepared pie crust; smooth the surface with a spatula. Freeze until solid, at least 2 hours. Let cheesecake sit at room temperature until slightly softened yet firm enough to slice before serving, 10 to 15 minutes.

Pumpkin Cookies with Caramel Frosting
These soft, cake-like pumpkin cookies smell wonderful and are a great reminder of autumn. The recipe came from my great-grandmother and yields a small batch, so we sometimes double it. The caramel frosting is glaze-like and quite thin, so it helps to place the cooled cookies on waxed paper while frosting. I usually use an entire can of pumpkin, rather than letting a small portion of it go to waste. Store in an airtight container for very soft cookies, store in a loosely covered container for firmer cookies.
