Avocado Crema

Thinning the crema with ice water instead of extra oil is what makes it pourable without diluting or muting the avocado's flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • ice water as needed

Method

  1. 1

    Blend avocados, coconut yogurt, lime juice, garlic, and salt until completely smooth.

  2. 2

    If the crema is too thick to drizzle, add ice water a tablespoon at a time while blending — thinning it with ice water instead of extra oil is what makes it pourable while keeping the avocado flavor concentrated; oil just makes it greasy without loosening the texture much.

  3. 3

    Blend until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust salt and lime juice as needed.

  5. 5

    Store in the fridge, pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning, for up to 2 days.
