AVOCADO CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• Set aside one-fourth of the avocado. In a blender or food processor combine the remaining three-fourths of the avocado, the buttermilk, cream cheese, lime juice, garlic, the 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper and salt. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Coarsely chop the reserved avocado; stir into pureed mixture. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
• Spoon into a serving bowl; sprinkle with the dash cayenne pepper. Serve with fresh vegetables.

AVOCADO PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush an 8-inch springform pan with some of the melted butter. Mix the remaining butter with the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
• Make the filling: Halve and pit the avocados, then scoop out the flesh and chop. Transfer to a bowl, add the cream cheese and beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the condensed milk, lime and lemon juices, and the salt and beat until fluffy, scraping the bowl as needed. Pour the filling into the crust, press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface and chill at least 4 hours.
• Remove the springform ring and slice the pie. Garnish with whipped cream or confectioners' sugar, if desired, and serve immediately (the top will start to brown as the pie sits).
