There are so many foods in life (Beer, milk, pancakes, eggs, mashed potatoes, ketchup) that shouldn’t be but are green on St. Patrick’s day. This pie is not one of those things. You’ve just got to trust me when I tell you that it’s not gross to put avocados in a dessert. In a blind taste test performed in my kitchen, every respondent said that it tasted “like key lime pie and avocados…but in a good way” which means that it wins all pies. If you’ve got 15 minutes and a blender, you can surprise all your drunk friends tonight with this festive dessert.
AVOCADO PIE
+
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons of Butter
2 tablespoons of Sugar
1 cup of Crushed Graham Cracked Crumbs
2 Avocados
1 14 ounce can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/2 cup of Lemon of Lime Juice
Zest of Lemon or Limes
+
Instructions:
Mix up the butter, sugar and graham cracker crumbs, press it into a 9 inch pie pan, and bake for 10 minutes on 325. While you’re waiting for it to cool, throw the avocados, sweetened condensed milk, juice and zest into a blender and mix it until everything’s smooth like butta. At this point, you could just drink it like a milkshake, but we’re going to scoop it into the pie shell instead and refrigerate it all for an hour. That’s all folks! Grab a beer and go eat some pie.
This looks bomb!
If we could come up with a vegan version, which wouldn’t be that difficult I’m guessing, this just might be the most lesbian of all desserts. I mean, 28 Maddows? This must be a seriously good pie.
[insert double-entendre here]
You could probably replace the condensed milk with maple syrup (or agave if you prefer). And of course the butter with margarine. Wouldn’t come out exactly the same, but similar. I’d totally try this if I had access to maple syrup, avocados, or really ay of the ingredients.

Vegan pie is worth 69 Maddows ;)
I googled cause I’m bad with dairy, and apparently, you can easily make condensed milk by dumping a bunch of sugar in some kind of milk substitute and boiling it down. SO.
Hello vegan friends, I attempted to modify this pie by making sweetened condensed milk from soy milk, which was
very easy.
However, the pie did not set in an hour as with the original recipe; it took overnight in the fridge. Probably next time I would add 2 tablespoons of thickener, like tapioca flour (or corn starch, or arrowroot powder).
It does taste quite nice, like key lime pie though! We sprinkled some zest on top for garnish.
Thanks Rey! This is awesome to have on hand!
For lazy people like me, I go for the avocado milkshake.
Avocado + milk + sugar or chocolate + blend = done. The avocado/milk amount depends on how thick or how thin you want it and if you want it green, add some sugar and no chocolate.
I always end up wasting leftover condensed or evaporated milk and lemons. :(
In Australia you can buy condensed milk in a tube. I’d imagine that would make it easier to use a bit and save the rest…
Or, if you are me, get an inexplicable craving for sweetened condensed milk and eat the rest of the tube.
Or, or..You could pour the remainder in a pan over medium-low heat, stirring continuously for about 10 min. and turn it into caramel!
I LOVE doing that. And then spooning it over ice cream. Hmm. Goddamn it Digger, this was meant to be one of my healthy days!!
Try spooning it over your girlfriend..Once it’s cooled a bit of course!
Thanks. Now I’m even sadder that I don’t have a girlfriend :P
p.s. apparently it can be done in a microwave too, I just don’t own one to try.
The cans can immersed in boiling water to do it..I have a rather unhealthy relationship with caramel!
Dulce de leche is my shit!
Can we?? This excites me.
I am drunk right now and I wish I had this. GODDAMMIT I hate living with my parents :( I can’t run the blender at 11 pm
this looks like the greatest food on earth. making. for sure.
I’m mildly allergic to avocados (ie. I won’t die if I eat them, but there will be a lot of insufferably annoying itchiness going on), so a recipe with avocado has to be pretty damn impressive for me to cook/eat it… I think this pie about does it. I’ll be the weird face-scratching kid in exchange for a piece of this pie.
I’m allergic to citrus, so I’m wondering if there’s some citrus-free substitute for lemon/lime zest because I really want to make this pie!
I know when a baking recipe calls for lemon juice, you can substitute about 1/3-1/2 the called for amount of juice with white vinegar instead..For zest though, I’m not sure
You are a wealth of info, Digger, and appreciated. I will admit, I was initally drawn to your comments due to the Best Chick Magnet Avatar Ever, but I do read the words, too.
LMAO..Yeah..My friend calls me “Wikipedia”..I’m a bit of a geek..But I can’t take credit for this one..My friends, the lesbian parents from Hell, were baking recently and explained the vinegar was because citrus is “dangerous” for young kids..IDK..Based on all the precautions they take, it’s a wonder any of us survived our childhood! As to my avatar..If that’s true, maybe I should wear it on a tshirt!
Ummmm I have fed babies oranges, so I feel like it’s ok.
Unless I poisoned that baby, but she’s still alive and kicking, so. Although she mostly liked to suck the juice out and then deposit the orange bits in her hair.
Basically, crazy lesbian moms are crazy.
I may need to drive out to Indiana just to buy you whatever kind of a drink won’t send you into anaphylactic shock!
Thanks! I’ve also found white wine to be a good lemon juice substitute for certain recipes.
WANT. i will definitely be making this in the near future.
Had avocado and lime cheesecake for dessert just last week – I feel like the recipe would have been almost identical to this – and it was amazeballs (and that’s coming from someone who dislikes avocado with almost every fibre of their being)
someones going to step in that pie
avocado pudding is pretty much the best thing ever.
avocado+coffee+brownsugar+ice+blender
looks kinda like baby vomit, but I guarantee it ‘s the best thing you ever put on your ice cream. if you put it on fried ice cream you just might go insane from the awesomeness.
don’t remember writing this. I gotta stop doing the internets while drunk…
I don’t care if you were drunk, that sounds awesome!
Oh my god I need to make this.
Amazeballs! I can’t wait to try this!!! I’ve been on an avacado kick this week and I feel like this is somehow a desert I can justify as being healthy ;)
Sounds great, can’t wait to try this recipe. Although, I have to admit, it looks like the pies tossed around by the Lost Boys in Hook.
I attribute most of my favorite foods to my obsession with that food fight in Hook. So many colors!
I kind of want to roll around and masturbate in this pie :/ why is that green fluffy making me so randy?
Freud would have a field day with you, my friend.
INTRIGUED AND AFRAID
I just tried this … possibly the best thing ever to be on my tongue (I did add 1 /12 tbsp honey … but I was just really in the mood for something sweet haha)
I feel like this could also make a great smoothie or milkshake.
This is amazing. Just cut into it.
(If you want to make it gluten free you can put thinly sliced almonds or walnuts in your blender and use those in place of graham cracker crumbs.)
Mmmm-mmm, delish. Linda Blair Pie. I’m trying this recipe as soon as possible — I think I’ll flan it!
I also propose that the world desperately needs to revert back to calling avocados “alligator pears”.
my friend calls them guacamatoes. heheh.
Made this for Halloween!! :D
One thing though if your blender is anything like mine then it might not be strong enough to blend this concoction, too thick. I just stirred it while that bad boy did its best to blend.
