I’m usually a chocolate fan for dessert, but these avocado lime cheesecake bites hit the spot on a hot summer day! I was trying to find a way to use up some avocados before they went bad and came across these. I didn’t quite like the recipes I found online so I tweaked them and made my own version. I even won over some “I don’t have a sweet tooth” family members with them! The lime and avocado flavors are just a perfect combination and so refreshing. And they are bite size to boot, for those looking for some built in portion control. #findyourbalance
No Bake Avocado Lime Cheesecake Bites
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 sleeve graham crackers (~10 crackers) finely crushed
- 4 tbsp butter
Avocado Lime Cheesecake Filling
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1-2 avocados ripe (I used 2)
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 2 limes for their juice 🙂
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Crust
- Melt the butter.
- Crush the crackers. You can put the crackers in a ziplock bag and crush them until fine, or use a food processer. I went the food processor route.
- Mix the butter and crushed crackers together until well combined.
Avocado Lime Cheesecake Filling
- Squeeze the juice out of the limes and put all filling ingredients into a food processer, blender, or mixer and get it smooth! It should be pudding consistency.
Assemble
- Press a small amount of the crust into each cupcake section.
- Place filling on top of each crust.
- Place in freezer for about 20 minutes. Once frozen, pop them out of the cupcake tin (you will need a dull knife for this) and transfer to a tupperware and keep frozen until ready to eat!
Notes
The fun thing about these is that you can make them a number of ways. I like these as a frozen treat so I keep them frozen in little bite size pieces for the hot summer nights. You can make this recipe in a baking dish and thaw it out a bit in the fridge and eat it like a regular cheesecake. I found that when I thawed the tiny cupcake version, they didn’t come out of the pan as well as they did when they were kept frozen. Anyway, these are so good and perfect for summer. Enjoy!Â
