Directions

  1. 1

    Crust: Heat the oven to 375°F. Mix the crust ingredients to a wet-sand consistency and press into a 9-inch pie pan, well up the sides. Blind bake 15 minutes; cool completely on a rack.

  2. 2

    Pie: Beat the avocados smooth (or push through a sieve) and measure out 2 cups (450g). Beat in the cream cheese until smooth, ~5 minutes. Beat in the condensed milk, salt, lime zest, and fresh lime juice — bottled juice won't set it. Turn into the cooled crust, level the top, and refrigerate overnight (5 hours minimum). Garnish with lime wedges and whipped cream. Keep covered and refrigerated; eat within 2 days.
