Avocado Lime Cheesecake

Avocado is always good! It’s such a great and delicious part of any balanced diet, and, of course, it’s a huge part of a vegan diet. It gives us a healthy type of fat that vegans really need. But, have you ever used avocado to make a sweet dish?? This avocado lime cheesecake is proof that you can easily create a sweet dish with avocado (that is also healthy)!!!

Avocados are good for Buddha bowls and for Mexican-style dishes, such as tacos, quesadillas, and tortillas. I also use avocados to make sandwiches, toasts, hummus or pesto.

If you wish to create the perfect vegan sandwich with avocado, you have to make this Vegan Tuna (Chickpeas) Sandwich! It tastes just like tuna but it’s even better because it’s completely plant-based! Avocado is a must with this sandwich!

If you are for a quick dinner, snack or breakfast, you definitely have to make this 5-Minute Spicy Avocado Hummus or Easy Avocado Pesto Pasta, ready in just 15 minutes! For a delicious breakfast, this Avocado Toast With Grilled Tomatoes is a true life-saver!

Avocados are healthy

Avocados are such delicious, nutrient-dense food. It says that it contains about 20 important vitamins and minerals that are necessary for a healthy diet.

If you are one of those vegans who wish to shed some extra weight, avocados become your best friend! It might sound weird and suspicious at first but you want to eat some ‘healthy’ fat! And avocados, together with nuts, are the best source of healthy fats! Just half of a small avocado will help you lose weight quite easily.

There has been researching conducted on the health benefits of eating avocados. Eating avocados strengthens heart health, helps prevent osteoporosis, and has a positive effect on digestion.

It’s been said that avocados are one of the best foods to eat during pregnancy. Why? Because avocados are packed with folate which is extremely important for a healthy pregnancy and the development of a baby. Apart from folate, avocados also contain potassium and vitamin B6 that is proved to help with morning sickness.

Avocados are such powerful food that they may help prevent oral cancer. Nutritions that are present in avocados are strong enough to kill malignant cells and thwart those cells from developing into cancer. That is a pretty strong reason to eat avocados, don’t you think so?

Avocado cheesecake preparation

To make this avocado and lime cheesecake, you will need many (around 5) ripe avocados. I suggest making this cheesecake when avocados are in season in a place where you live. That’s how you save some money on avocados.

You will need 2 limes – their zest and juice. The fresher, the better! To make this cheesecake thick, you will need agar-agar powder. Agar-agar powder has exactly the same properties as gelatine powder but it’s totally vegan and gluten-free!

To make a cheesecake crust, you need desiccated coconut, almond meal, Medjool dates (dried), chia seeds, and coconut oil (melted).

For the cheesecake part, you will need limes, avocados, pure maple syrup, and vanilla essence (extract).

This avocado lime cheesecake is:

• sweet
• sour
• zesty
• soft
• mild
• easy
• big enough for 10-12 people
