Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 piece jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh lime juice to the blender to prevent the avocado from browning.
Add the cilantro leaves. You can include some stems since they add flavor too.
Carefully cut the jalapeño pepper in half, remove the seeds if you prefer less heat, and add it to the blender.
Pour in the coconut milk to make the crema smooth and creamy.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well combined.
Taste the crema and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to taste.
Transfer the avocado crema to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
