This Halloween, treat your ghouls and goblins with this decadent Green Monster Avocado Pie. “Avocado pie?” you ask? Yes! Don’t be skeptical; trust me. You’ll be glad you did.

The avocado is such an important element in this recipe because it creates a creamy, smooth and silky consistency. Hints of citrus, sweetened with La Lechera Sweetened Condensed Milk complete this fun dessert. Plus it’s GREEN and oh so delicious! Perfect for a conversation starter at your next Halloween party.

This just keeps getting stranger. Let’s talk crust.

Everything is better with chocolate so chocolate chip cookie bar dough from Nestlé Toll House had to play an important role in this green monstrosity. Cookie dough as pie crust? Why not? Don’t be scared.

The combination of textures and flavors balance out perfectly, creating a devilishly tasty dish that will be haunting you year-round.

Happy Halloween!
