Creamy Avocado Key Lime Pie: A Refreshing Twist on a Classic Dess

Introducing: Avocado Key Lime Pie

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a unique dessert creation that’s perfect for those hot summer days when you’re craving something refreshing and indulgent. This Avocado Key Lime Pie is a twist on the classic citrus dessert, combining the creamy richness of avocado with the tangy brightness of fresh key limes. Trust me, you won’t want to miss out on this delicious treat!

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe avocados (250g)
• 10 key limes, juiced and zested (150g juice, 10g zest)
• 1/2 cup coconut milk (120ml)
• 1/4 cup agave syrup (60ml)
• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (30g)
• 1 cup crushed digestive biscuits (100g)
• 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes (15g)

Kitchen Tools:

• food processor
• mixing bowls
• pie dish
• zester

I start by making the crust for this pie. In a food processor, I combine the crushed digestive biscuits with the toasted coconut flakes and pulse until they form a fine crumb. I then transfer this mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the melted coconut oil. Press this into the bottom of a pie dish, creating an even layer, and place it in the refrigerator to set while I prepare the filling.

Next, in a clean food processor, I blend the ripe avocados, key lime juice, key lime zest, coconut milk, and agave syrup until smooth and creamy. This vibrant green filling is poured over the chilled crust and spread evenly. I pop the pie back in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly.

Once the Avocado Key Lime Pie has set, I garnish it with additional lime zest and toasted coconut flakes for a pop of color and texture. Slice into wedges and serve chilled for a delectable and refreshing dessert that’s sure to impress your guests.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 575g, with 8 servings at an average weight of 72g per serving. Each serving contains approximately 220 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a pinch of sea salt to the avocado filling to enhance the flavors and balance the sweetness of the agave syrup. It’s a small addition that makes a big difference in the overall taste of the pie.

I hope you give this Avocado Key Lime Pie a try and enjoy it as much as I do! Feel free to customize it with your favorite toppings or experiment with different citrus fruits for a new twist. Happy baking!
