Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the sour cream, fresh lime juice, and fresh cilantro to the blender.
Peel and roughly chop the garlic clove, then add it to the blender along with the salt and ground black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
If the crema is too thick, gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, blending until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if needed.
Transfer the avocado crema to a serving bowl or airtight container. Serve immediately as a topping for your favorite dishes, or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
