Ingredients
- 300 gms Cream Cheese
- 200 ml Whipping Cream for mixing with avocado
- 150 ml Whipping Cream
- 1 medium Avocado cut into big cubes
- 2 Lime juiced and zested
- 1 cup Granulated White Sugar
- 1 sachet ( 2 1/2 teaspoons) Gelatin Powder
- 1 cup Graham ground
- 100 gms Unsalted Butter melted
- 1 Lime for garnishing
Instructions
- Zest the lime first before extracting the juice. Set aside the lime zest and juice.
- Place the graham crackers in food processor until finely ground. Add melted butter and process until moist crumbs form.
- Press crumb mixture onto bottom of a 10-inch-diameter springform pan or a 10-inch-diameter mousse ring. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
- Combine 150 ml of whipping cream and gelatin powder in a small saucepan. Stir for 2 minutes or until granules of gelatin is dissolved. Bring it to boil over medium heat. Stir for few minutes until gelatin is completely melted. Strain through a fine sieve. Set aside.
- Using a food processor combine avocado, cream cheese, sugar, 200 ml whipping cream, lime juice, and zest until everything is smooth and well-combined.
- Pour in the gelatin- cream mixture and continue processing until well combined, creamy and smooth in texture.
- Pour the avocado lime cheesecake into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Chill in the freezer for 2 hours to set.
- Release the cake from the pan if using a springform pan. If using a mousse ring (which I used in this recipe), use a blow torch and run around the edge of the ring to loosen the mousse and remove the ring. Serve right away! Enjoy this dessert like cheesecake ice cream!
- Garnish with lime slices and zest on top.
Notes
- The avocado has a long fruiting season. In the Philippines, it’s from May to September.
- Avocados are versatile. You can use it in savoury dishes or sweet desserts.
- For this recipe, I was able to produce one 8-inch and one 4-inch cake, as what you can see on the pictures above. This recipe can fill 10-inch cake pan, too.
- There are available ground Grahams at the supermarkets.
