Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Avocado Key Lime Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar, mixing until moistened. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
  2. While the crust cools, blend ripe avocado, fresh key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks until creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour the avocado filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top. Tap the pan to remove air bubbles.
  4. Bake the assembled pie for 12-15 minutes until edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
  5. Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Top with whipped cream, lime zest, or slices before serving.
