Nanna's Avocado Pie

This is a recipe I got out of an old hand-written recipe book that belonged to my Dad's grandmother, Dulcina Peltier. Doesn't she sound divine?!!! I think so. I met her once when I was an itty bitty child but never really knew her. Both of my parents speak very highly of her so for that I know she was something special. I know she lived in Hollywood, wore beautiful jewelry and always dressed fancy. She had her own personal antique dealer, she loved cats and was very proper and tidy. So tidy, infact that she used to vacuum her cat! Ahhh ha ha ha! And when ever she would make fried chicken, she did in the garage so it wouldn't stink up her house. What a gem! 


Pardon the lengthy intro but I wanted to reel you in with her introduction so you wouldn't turn up your nose at the idea of eating a pie made of avacados. Now, do you think she sounds like the type of person would make a nasty tasting pie...? I think not. This pie is sweet, creamy and delicate! Not intriguing enough?... It's a "no bake" pie so its super EASY!


Shopping list: 
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker pie crust
2 ripe avacados - peeled pitted and cubed
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
14 once can of sweetened condensed milk
8 ounce cream cheese

OR, you can serve it as a mousse like this. 

Mmmm... Its good!
