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
Blend avocados, coconut yogurt, lime juice, garlic, and salt until completely smooth.
- 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
Blend until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
- 4
Taste and adjust salt and lime juice as needed.
- 5
Store in the fridge, pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning, for up to 2 days.
