For the Base

  • 1 large Ripe Avocado Ensures the avocado is fully ripe for optimal creaminess.
  • 1 clove Garlic Use roasted garlic for a milder taste.
For the Flavor Boost
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Zest Fresh lime is preferred for the best taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Alternative: Sea salt may be used to taste.
Optional Thickening Agent

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a personal blender or a small bowl, add the creamy sour cream, ripe avocado, and a garlic clove. Grate in some fresh lime zest and squeeze in the lime juice, and then sprinkle a pinch of Kosher salt over the top.
  2. Blend the mixture on high for about 30 seconds, or until you achieve a silky-smooth consistency.
  3. If you prefer a thinner texture, gradually add a splash of milk while blending for an additional 10 to 15 seconds.
  4. After blending, taste your Avocado Crema and adjust seasoning as needed by adding more salt or lime juice.
  5. Transfer your freshly made Avocado Crema into an airtight container, pressing plastic wrap directly against the surface to minimize browning.
