Description

A creamy, no-bake dessert with a velvety avocado-lime filling, a crunchy graham cracker base, and a sweet-tart crystallized lime zest topping.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Extra lime zest for crystallizing

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press into the bottom of 4 serving jars.
  2. In a blender, combine avocados, cream cheese, powdered sugar, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Spoon the avocado-lime filling over the crust in each jar, smoothing the top.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water; heat until sugar dissolves. Toss extra lime zest in the syrup, then drain and let dry on parchment paper until crystallized.
  5. Top each jar with crystallized lime zest and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
