Avocado-Lime-Cheesecake2.jpg

Ingredients
300 grams Cream Cheese
200 ml Whipping Cream, for mixing with avocado
150 ml Whipping Cream
1 medium-large Avocaco, cut into big cubes
30 ml Water
2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
Zest of 2 Limes
3/4 cup Sugar
1 Sachet Gelatin Powder
1 cup Graham, ground
100 grams Unsalted Butter, melted

Instructions
  1. Zest the lime first before extracting the juice. Set aside the lime zest and juice.
  2. Place the graham crackers in food processor until finely ground. Add melted butter; process until moist crumbs form. Press crumb mixture onto bottom of 10-inch-diameter springform pan or 10-inch-diameter mousse ring. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
  3. Boil 150 ml of whipping cream in a small sauce pan and add it to gelatin powder in medium bowl; stir for 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Strain through fine sieve. Cool it down.
  4. Using a food processor combine avocado, cream cheese, sugar, 200 ml whipping cream, lime juice, zest, and 30 ml water until everything is smooth and well-combined. Pour in the cooled gelatin- cream mixture and continue processing until well combined, creamy and smooth in texture.
  5. Pour the avocado lime cheesecake into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Chill in the freezer for 1 hour to set.
  6. Release the cake from the pan if using spring from pan. If using a mousse ring (which I used in this recipe), use a blow torch and run around the edge of the ring to loosen the mousse and remove the ring.
  7. Garnish with lime slices and zest on top.

Ok, who is going to be brave and make this? Looks delicious.
 
Does look delicious! But if I was to attempt it I'd swap the avo for strawberries
 
Remember that graham crackers are really just cookies, so anything in that family will work well. Go with speculoos or gingersnaps for a spicy kick that works well with cheesecake or cream pies, vanilla wafers or animal crackers if you want something more subtle, or chocolate wafers or even Oreo cookies for something dark and chocolate-y. Don't forget that nut-flavored cookies also work well, like Italian*amaretti.

Oreos? Interesting. Tennis biscuits is an alternative but might be too sweet in this case.
 
For something like this, I'd go for salticrax.
 
Graham crackers - local alternative?

Homemade Graham Crackers

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for working
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup untoasted wheat germ
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons high-quality honey

Directions in the link

It sounds like honey cinnamon cookies, can buy or make them quite easily.
 
There was a crust I made for a chocolate caramel bake thing that was very good. Not too sweet or anything. Can't remember the exact recipe but it involved:

Baking powder
Brown sugar
Butter
Coconut flakes (suppose this is optional).

Mixed those together, spread it in a pan and bake for 10mins. If I find the exact recipe again I'll post it.

Cinnamon in normal Graham Crackers? :confused: Maybe a hint but not that much.

Here in SA digestive biscuits work well. I'm planning on making a blueberry cheesecake soon with Oaties.

Near every home Graham Cracker recipe I had Googled contained cinnamon… SA used to sell those chocolate covered digestive biscuits, so I had a quick look and discovered these,
