Steps:
- Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Add the graham crackers and 1/4 cup of the sugar to a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs. Drizzle in the butter and pulse until the crumbs are completely coated and moistened. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate while you make the filling. Clean out the food processor and return it to the stand.
- Add the cream cheese, avocados, lime zest and juice and remaining 3/4 cup sugar to the food processor and puree until completely smooth and almost no avocado lumps remain. Add the coconut cream and heavy cream and process until the mixture starts to thicken and becomes creamy, about 1 minute.
- Pour the mixture on top of the crust in the prepared pan. Spray a piece of plastic wrap with cooking spray and gently press it on top of the filling so no air can reach it. Refrigerate until completely set, 6 hours and up to overnight.
- Remove the plastic wrap and smooth out any bubbles with an offset spatula. Garnish with whipped cream around the edge and serve cold.

VANILLA BEAN CHEESECAKE WITH WALNUT CRUST
This cheesecake is just plain SEXY. So delicate, sultry and beautiful! A true indulgence for the vanilla connoisseur. The pure white topping so innocently covers the pure decadence! I experienced love at first sight with this cheesecake and I think you will too! Since vanilla, almonds and walnuts are aphrodisiacs, I plan on adding this to my Valentine's Day menu and have posted it here for safe keeping! The recipe was adapted from All-American Sexy Foods by Peggy Cullen. A 10 for total YUM factor! Wine Suggestion: A creamy bubbly, such as Michele Chiarlo Moscato d' Asti Nivole 2003 is a wonderful combination with this dessert. Or try a dessert Trebianno such as Late Harvest Trebianno.

Tips:
- To ensure a smooth cheesecake filling, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before beginning. This will allow it to blend more easily with the other ingredients, resulting in a creamy and homogeneous texture. - When baking the cheesecake, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven. This will create a humid environment, which will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking. - Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly and develop its full flavor. - For the best results, use ripe avocados. This will give the cheesecake a rich and creamy flavor. - If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the excess crust from the edges before baking.Conclusion:
This avocado cheesecake is a delicious and unique dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. With its creamy avocado filling, nutty walnut crust, and refreshing lime zest, this cheesecake is a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just as a sweet treat, this avocado cheesecake is sure to be a hit.
