GREEN WITH ENVY CHEESECAKE

Thirty four years ago , a lady by the name of Christine Heaslip put together The Complete Avocado Cookbook .
My copy of the book is in near new condition and the recipes are as relevant  today as they would have been suprising when the book was first published .
It is a fantastic recipe book .
I have made the Green With Envy Cheesecake many , many times it is very popular .
Mix together 2 cups of fine biscuit crumbs with 1/2 cup of melted butter / margarine and 3 tbs of raw sugar .
Work it together with your fingers .
Press into a well greased spring form flan pan over the base and around the sides , making a flat , smooth crust .
In a bowl beat 500gm of cream cheese together with the flesh of 3 avocados , 1 cup of cream , 3 lightly beaten eggs , 1 cup of honey (or 1 cup of raw sugar ) with an electric mixer or processor .
Add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon , 1/4 cup of brandy , 1 tsp of vanilla essence .
Pour into the prepared flan pan and bake in a preheated oven for 1 hour .
Cool  then refrigerate , carefully remove from spring form pan and place on serving dish .
Decorate with whipped cream and slices of kiwi fruit and avocado wedges ..(optional )
