Avocado Key Lime Pie
- Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
- Diet: Gluten Free
Description
Creamy, tangy, and surprisingly simple, this no-bake Avocado Key Lime Pie features a graham crust. A delicious, gluten-friendly dessert perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup Granulated sugar
- 2 medium Ripe avocados (about 1 cup mashed)
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- ½ cup Key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
- 1 cup Heavy cream (very cold)
- 1–2 tsp Lime zest (optional)
- A pinch of salt (optional, for crust)
- Whipped topping (store-bought, optional substitute)
- Gluten-free graham crackers (optional substitute)
Instructions
- Make the Graham Cracker Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until moist. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate, ensuring it’s even on the bottom and up the sides. For a sturdier crust, bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, then cool, or simply chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Avocado Key Lime Filling: In a food processor or blender, combine ripe avocado flesh, sweetened condensed milk, and key lime juice. Process until completely smooth and creamy. The filling should be a beautiful pale green. For extra tang, add ½ tsp more key lime juice.
- Assemble and Chill Your Pie: Pour the avocado key lime filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Spread evenly with a spatula. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until firm.
Notes
Quality & Freshness: Look for perfectly ripe avocados – they should feel slightly soft when gently squeezed. Fresh key lime juice offers the best flavor, but quality bottled key lime juice works too. Use full-fat sweetened condensed milk for the creamiest results.
Substitutions: For a gluten-friendly crust, use gluten-free graham crackers. Store-bought whipped topping is a quick alternative to homemade whipped cream.
Troubleshooting: If your filling isn’t setting, ensure it’s been chilled long enough. Sometimes an extra hour or two makes all the difference.
