Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 ½ ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup fresh lime juice

Crust

  • 1 (8 inch) prepared graham cracker crust

Instructions

  1. Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy whipping cream over medium heat just until small bubbles appear around the edges. Remove from heat carefully.
  2. Dissolve the Sugar: Stir the white sugar into the warm cream until fully dissolved. Transfer the sweetened cream mixture to a medium bowl and let it cool for about 10 minutes to reach a safe blending temperature.
  3. Blend Avocado and Cream Cheese: Place the peeled and pitted avocados along with the softened cream cheese into a food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
  4. Add Lime Juice: Pour in the fresh lime juice to the avocado and cream cheese blend and process again until everything is fully combined and smooth.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Whisk the cooled cream and sugar mixture into the avocado-lime cream cheese blend until homogenous and silky smooth.
  6. Freeze Mixture: Transfer this combined mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions, approximately 20 minutes, until the mixture is firm but scoopable.
  7. Fill the Graham Cracker Crust: Spoon the frozen avocado lime cheesecake filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Smooth the surface gently with a spatula for an even top.
  8. Freeze Until Solid: Place the filled crust in the freezer and chill until the cheesecake is fully set and solid, at least 2 hours.
  9. Serve: Before serving, allow the cheesecake to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes until it softens slightly but remains firm enough to slice into clean pieces. Enjoy chilled!

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to blend smoothly without lumps.
  • For a more tart flavor, adjust lime juice quantity to taste.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow pan, stirring every 30 minutes until firm.
  • Store leftovers covered in the freezer and consume within 3 days for optimal taste and texture.
