Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons coconut milk
- 1 whole garlic clove
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon optional cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add lime juice to the avocado in the blender to prevent browning and enhance the flavor.
Add the coconut milk to provide a creamy texture that is Paleo-friendly.
Peel the garlic clove, slice it in half to remove the sprout if present, and add it to the blender.
Wash and roughly chop the cilantro leaves, then add to the blender for a fresh, herbaceous taste.
Add the sea salt and ground black pepper to season the avocado cream.
For a bit of heat, add the optional cayenne pepper to taste.
Begin blending the ingredients on a low setting, gradually increasing to high speed until smooth. Add water, a tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the avocado cream and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the cream to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
