When I made this, I started with 1/4 cup lemon juice but after tasting it, I realized it needed the full 1/2 called for in the recipe. Unfortunately, the amount of lemon necessary almost overpowered the avocado flavor. I think this would be much better as a cake filling. I suspected that it would be INCREDIBLY intense/rich, and I was right; I personally couldn't eat more than a spoonful. I can't imagine eating this as a straight-up pie without anything to offset the richnesss. It's a strange recipe; not BAD strange, just strange. I think it could be stellar in the right context.

Amazing!! I replaced the lemon juice w/ lime juice. It turned out like a more subtle key lime pie only w a hint of Avacado (genious!). I have always liked key lime pie only I've always thought it was too strong, this fixes it all

We were sent a doz very ripe avocados for Christmas - it was so much fun to use them in this recipe - which was yummy!! Plus the joy of telling everyone that we had avocado pie for Christmas! Made it exactly to the instructions - next time might try lime juice just to be different.

Blending in a 8oz package of Cream Cheese pushes this recipe into the 5 star category. Give it try.

This is such an interesting pie and is a great summer dessert. I used lime juice instead of lemon juice.

I made some changes to the original recipe like some of the others. I used fresh lime juice rather than lemon and I also added a half of a package of cream cheese for nicer texture. I also did something a little different, I added a few sprigs of fresh mint to the avacados while they were pureeing in the food processor. The mint brought a nice fresh taste to the pie. I ended up calling it mojito pie because it reminded me so much of the refreshing beverage. Like another viewer, I felt that the pie was too sour. I would definately cut back on the amount of lime juice the next time I make it. I love this recipe and will make it again for sure!

Simply delicious, creamy & perfect for a hot summer day. I used 3 Hass Avocados, 1 pkg of Neufchtel Cream cheese (1/3 less fat)& 2 T Lemon freshly squeezed. Using less lemon so the flavor of the avocado stayed dominant. Topped with lite whipped cream...excellent. Had some filling left over filled dessert glasses & topped with whipped cream & a few sprinkles of grated lemon rind. Yummy & elegant looking.

Absolutely AWESOME! I accidentally put twice the amount of condensed milk, and it was yummy and sweet even still! Must say that my accident kind of drown out the avodaco flavor, but it was of course still just a sweet and tart pie. Absolutely delicious!

Loved it wasnt sure at first my mom tried it and told me it tasted like Kiwi she was suprised when I told her it was Avocado. Next time I will take the others' advise and let it set longer or use cream cheese but it was delicious my husband ate every last bit of it.

What a cool concept. I wish, though, that the type of avocado was specified. Here in Florida, we get humongous green skin ones and dainty little Hass avocados. I chose Haas because they taste better, but only ended up with about a cup to use in the recipe. Is this too little? Other than that, it was very easy to put together in the blender (with the addition of a 1/3 cup of cream cheese) and I wholeheartedly agree that it tastes a bit like kiwi. Also, I made my own crust with crushed Nilla wafers and a stick of margarine. Then I baked it at 375 for 5 or so minutes. Yum!

This pie really is amazing... I thought it was a cool idea, but I didn't really think it would taste as good as it does. Interesting texture and taste. I made it exactly as the recipe depicts, except used lime instead of lemon juice and a little less than half a cup. Will definitely make this again.

This was surprisingly amazing! I took the suggestion of other reviewers and added a block of reduced fat cream cheese, and also substituted fresh lime juice for the lemon because it made more sense with the avacados. I increased the amount of condensed milk to about 10-12 ozs. based on similar recipes I've found (many other recipes like this call for a full 15 oz. can), and everything fit perfectly into a 9" pie crust. Definitely chill this for at least 6-8 hour if not overnight for the best set/flavor, and look for good quality, ripe avocados as this is the KEY to this recipe. Still can't get over how fresh and unique these ingredients taste together - wouldn't have expected it! Thanks so much for the recipe...this will be a new summertime favorite! :-)

I thought this pie would be wierd, but since I like avacados so much, I thought I'd try it. I am so glad I did! I used lime juice instead of lemon, and added an 8 ounce package of reduced fat cream cheese and it was out of this world! This is a very good pie for people who love avacados or even people who don't! YUMMMMM!

This pie is quite nice! Even for those who are not big avocado fans, it's great because it ends up tasting rather like kiwi fruit more than avocado. I do double the amount of avocado in the recipe and am happy with the results. You can also substitute cream cheese and confectioner's sugar for the sweetened condensed milk if you like - it changes the texture a bit, but not in a bad way. Lots of room to tweak this one with good results!

This was too tart. We like key lime pie but this was not a good kind of tart. I made it as written and it was lip puckering tart. I couldn't taste the avacado at all. All I tasted was sour. If I was to make again I would definetly cut down the lemon and increase the sweetner. Not sure it is worth the $$ for good avacados.
