Avocados are my secret weapon. They are versatile yet often fly under the kitchen radar. Everyone can easily add it to their arsenal of Paleo and vegan friendly ingredients. I love the nutty flavour, healthy fats and creamy texture and literally eat them almost with every meal. So it's no surprise that my latest obsession is an Avocado Lime Cheesecake. You must try this one; it's a winner—I guarantee you'll love it.
This recipe best comes together with a high-speed food processor or blender (I used a Vitamix). Be sure to blend until the consistency of the cheesecake cream is super silky and creamy. You want to make sure there is no cashew chunks left. If you're working with a weaker device, turn it on and off, and blend multiple times until it reaches the desired consistency.
The benefits of avocado are endless. I could probably sing songs about it (if I could sing lol). All joking aside, avocados are really good for our lady parts. They are also incredibly nutritious and contain more potassium than a banana. Avocados are loaded with fiber and heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids (the good kind of fat). To sum it up, you can never eat enough avocados because they make EVERYTHING taste GREAT!

Notes
Note: I usually try and soak cashews in filtered water overnight. If you’re running short of time, you can speed up the process by soaking them in boiling water for 30-60 minutes.
Tip: Once frozen, decorate your cheesecake with shredded coconut or chocolate shavings!
