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.
