santa cruz avocado pie
(3 ratings)
I got this recipe from an Eagle Brand Milk can label back in the late 1970's. Since I lived in California then and avocados were plentiful and cheap I had to try this unusual pie. To my surprise it was terrific. Its not hard to make and the cool, creamy flavor is like nothing else. Please note: The completed pie needs to chill in refrigerator for about 2 hours before serving.

How To Make santa cruz avocado pie

1Refrigerate graham cracker crust to chill well. In a small bowl, combine lime juice, lemon juice, and unflavored gelatin. Let stand 4 to 5 minutes or until gelatin is softened. In a large mixer bowl combine gelatin mixture, mashed avocados, and sweetened condensed milk. Quickly beat together well. Filling will begin to set up very fast. Pour mixture into cold graham cracker pie crust. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until the filling is firm.
