Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon Adobo sauce (from the chipotle can)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Finely chop the chipotle peppers and garlic. Alternatively, use a food processor for a smoother consistency.
Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped chipotle peppers and adobo sauce to the pan. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes to release the smoky flavor.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir continuously and heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the sour cream until smooth and fully combined.
Stir in the lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or use immediately as a topping/dip. The sauce thickens as it cools.
