Recipe View 5 mins Serve: Remove the side of the pan; cut the cheesecake into 10 slices. Serve with raspberry sauce, if desired.

For an extra nutty flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before grinding.
Ensure the avocados are very ripe for the smoothest cheesecake texture.
If you don't have anise seeds, a pinch of fennel seeds can be substituted.
For a richer flavor, consider using full-fat cream cheese, but remember to adjust nutritional information accordingly.
Raspberry sauce provides a beautiful color contrast and enhances the flavor of the cheesecake, but other fruit sauces or a simple dusting of cocoa powder would also complement the dish.
