Avocado Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce

You guys already know about my love of Avocados, and Cheesecake. Its just natural that it would lead to this. Before you freak out and think this is gross, don't trash it until you try it. Back in May I made some homemade avocado ice cream( i need to post that on here) that we thought was surprisingly good, So this did not seem to far out there to me. Since I found a killer deal on avocados and stocked up on them I knew it was time to try to whip this up. To make myself feel better about eating cheesecake I added in some greek yogurt=) Hope you give it a try, it really is good, hubby loved it!

For the crust
18 oreos, I used a mix of 9 regular and 9 berry blast flavor
2 Tbs butter

For the cheesecake
1 pkg cream cheese, softened
1 cup greek FAGE 2% yogurt
3 eggs
2 ripe avocados mashed well
3/4 cup sugar
zest and juice of one lime
juice of 1/2 a lemon

For the Raspberry Sauce
A few TBS. of seeded raspberry jam
some juice from a bag of thawed frozen raspberries to thin out the sauce

To make crust mix oreo cookies in a food processor to crumb and mix with melted butter and press into a 10-inch spring form pan. Bake at 350 for 7-8 mins. Let cool

With a mixer combine soft cream cheese and yogurt and mix until smooth. Mix in one egg at a time until each is well combined. Mix in avocados and sugar. Then add  zest and citrus juice.
Pour into the oreo crust and bake at 350* for 20-25 min...cool most of the way and then chill in fridge several hours or overnight. Mix the jam and juice for the sauce and top each slice. YUM ENJOY!
