10 servings

  • 0.75 cup shelled walnuts
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon crushed anise seeds
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 lemon
  • 1.5 cups skim milk
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 fully ripened Avocados from Mexico, halved, pitted, peeled and diced
  • 1 (8 ounce) package fat-free cream cheese, softened and cut in pieces

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In food processor, pulse walnuts until finely ground. Add graham cracker crumbs, 1 tablespoon sugar, anise seeds and salt; pulse just until combined. Add 2 tablespoons water; pulse until ingredients are thoroughly combined and resemble wet sand. Press into bottom of an 8 1/2-inch springform pan. Bake 20 minutes; cool completely.
  • In measuring cup or small bowl, combine gelatin with 2 tablespoons water; let stand for 5 minutes. With vegetable peeler, remove strips of lemon zest (yellow portion only). In saucepan, combine milk, 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla and lemon zest; bring to boil. Add gelatin; simmer until gelatin has completely dissolved, about 1 minute; strain and discard lemon zest.
  • In food processor, combine avocados and cream cheese. Pour hot milk mixture into processor; process until very smooth. Pour into baked crust; cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or until set. Remove side of pan; cut cheesecake into 10 slices. Serve with raspberry sauce, if desired.
