  • Will make it again

    I loved this! If it's still a little runny after blending it all up just add some more avocado. Mine kept in the fridge for about 3 days so plan on servin it after the chill period.

    Also you could always do minis of this with little jars or inidividual small bowls...may do that next time

  • Making this in advance

    Sarah, the pie should hold up well for about a day in the refrigerator. After that you run the risk of the pie discoloring due to oxidation.

    How long in advance can this be made? Looks wonderful!

  • Good question!

    hi Elsie, great question. An "average" size Hass Avocado should mash up to about 2/3 cup. Hope you enjoy the recipe!

    This California Summer Avocado pie sounds scrumptious, but we only receive very small avocados in our area. Can you suggest how many cups of mashed avocado to use in the recipe, please?

    Thank you in advance, for answering my question.

    Elsie
