It’s Father’s day this weekend so I thought I’d make a healthy treat to celebrate! I was originally going to make a lime cheesecake, but I wanted to give it some colour so I thought of adding some healthy fats like avocado in it!
The cheesecake itself does not taste like avocado, simple sweet lime so if you’re worried about that, then it’s not a problem! I gave some to my boyfriend and only told him it was a lime cheesecake and he never knew! Muahaha, I always try to sneak in some healthy food in him as he practically only eats carbs.
Whenever I make cheesecakes, you’ll notice I usually only use 15cm cheesecake molds as any bigger than that would be just too big for me! I live alone so a small cheesecake like that is absolutely perfect <3
My favourite sweetener for desserts like this, is always stevia powder. My favourite brand is from NOW Organic Stevia Extract Powder and it’s just perfect for desserts like this. Whenever it’s a baked dessert, I usually like to use either just stevia or with a combination of erythritol.
I decided it to decorate this cheesecake with some sliced limes that I had zested not to waste them, some raspberries, a bit of lime zest and some chia seeds! You could even decorate it with some avocado slices if you wished!
For this recipe, I used my brand new 9-cup Kitchenaid food processor! It is absolutely amazing and I’m so happy I got it 🙂
Keto Avocado Lime Cheesecake (No Bake)
Ingredients
Cheesecake Crust
- 50 g hazelnut flour 1/2 cup or almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp stevia powder
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
Cheesecake
- 2 avocados (240g seedless)
- 440 g cream cheese 2x8oz pack
- 90 g sour cream
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 3/4 tsp stevia powder *see note
- zest one lime
- 90 ml heavy cream
- 1.5 tbsp gelatin 10g
- 100 ml boiling water
Optional Decorations
- As needed slices lime
- As needed chia seeds
- zest lime
- As needed raspberries
Instructions
-
Mix the cheesecake crust ingredients in a small bowl until it resembles a crumbly mixture. Add the crust into a 15cm cheesecake dish and spoon it evenly.
-
In a large food processor, add the avocado and process a minute until completely smooth. Scrape the sides if needed.
-
Once the avocado is all smooth, add the cream cheese and process for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth, again scraping sides if need be. Add the sour cream, lime juice and stevia powder and process a minute until combined.
-
Add the heavy cream to the food processor and process for 2 minutes. This will whip the cream. With a zester, zest the peel of the lime into the cheesecake mixture.
-
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and boiling water and mix until the gelatin has completely melted.
-
Pour the gelatin water into the food processor. It's okay if it's still hot. Mix for a minute until perfectly combined. Pour the cheesecake batter into the cheesecake mold and smooth out the top with a spatula. Place into the fridge for 4 hours minimum.
-
Once the cheesecake is cooled, decorate it as you wish. I added a few raspberries, some lime slices, chia seeds and a bit more lime zest!
P.S. I had a piece for breakfast for 3-4 days and it was really filling! It can be the perfect treat for breakfast!
Recipe Notes
- *Before setting the cheesecake in the fridge, taste the batter and see if it's sweet enough for you. I personally haven't eaten sugar in over three years, so I found this extremely sweet, but if you don't think it's sweet enough, add 1/4 tsp of stevia at a time until desired sweetness 🙂
- If you want to use lemon juice instead of lime juice, you can totally switch it out!
- The cheesecake is good in the fridge for about 4-5 days!
I made this last night and we had a serving this evening after a light dinner.
My husband has this cute little tell. He’ll happily hum if he is really enjoying something. This cheesecake got the hum! I giggled and told him I would be sharing the humming accolades with you and your wonderful recipe! It
The cheesecake was so creamy with a sweet zing! Unlike most dairy heavy recipes, the zing of the lime leaves your palate feeling clean and fresh. I hope that doesn’t sound odd. lol
This is definitely going into the favorite index! Thank you so much!
Haha that’s cute! Thank you so much! I’m glad you guys enjoyed it 🙂
So good! Makes keto even easier. 🙂
Oh my, I have só got to make this!
I live alone too and I’m thinking 4 slices would do me just fine also. I’d like to know whether this recipe (8 slices) is for your 15cm mold, or did you use a larger one for the pictures and should I halve the recipe to fit a smaller mold.
I’ll also try to freeze a small piece, no use spoiling a perfectly good slice 😉
Hi!
I only have a 15cm mold, so I cut that into 8 slices! The picture is that 15cm mold! If you use a larger mold, the cheesecake will be way less thick!
how many servings does this make?
It’s for 8 slices.
Can you taste the avo?
Nope! It tastes like a lime cheesecake and the avocado makes it green.
Did the avocado turn brown at all after it sat in the fridge
Nope! Not at all! I think the lime in it keeps it nice and green! But after 4 days ish, the flavours were starting to get weaker.
I have a question before I make this.
Roughly how much “batter” is in the processor after you blended in the gelatine water?
I have 2 processors and just wondering if my smaller one could hold it.
Looking forward to eating this later!
All of it is in the food processor! I used a 9 cup food processor.
Can servings of this be frozen and thawed well for later eating enjoyment?
I haven’t tried to be honest, but since it’s cheese, I imagine you can!
I’d freeze a test piece first. I know sour cream will split after thawed from the freezer. Just to be safe and not waste your money. 🙂
