Avocado Cream
Creamy, smooth, and bursting with flavour, this homemade avocado cream is your go-to for adding a fresh twist to your dishes. Made with ripe avocados, tangy Greek yogurt, zesty lime juice, and a hint of garlic, it’s perfect as a topping for tacos, a dip for veggies, or a dollop on salads. Simple, versatile, and oh-so-delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 4 fresh basil leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Add the Greek yogurt or sour cream, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, basil, salt, and pepper to the avocado.
- Blend the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
- Taste the avocado cream and adjust the seasoning as desired, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to suit your taste.
- Transfer the avocado cream to a bowl and garnish with more basil or parsley if desired. Optionally, you can add the avocado cream to a squeeze bottle for easier plating.
Notes
- 1-2 jalapeño or serrano peppers (seeded and finely chopped) for a spicy kick.
- A pinch or two of ground cumin for a warm, earthy note.
- Precision: A squeeze bottle makes it easy to control the amount and placement of the avocado cream, allowing you to create neat, visually appealing designs or patterns on your dishes.
- Presentation: Using a squeeze bottle adds a professional touch to your plating, elevating the overall look of your dish.
- Efficiency: It’s faster, cleaner, and more efficient to use a squeeze bottle, especially when plating multiple servings.
- Refrigerate leftover avocado cream in an airtight container or squeeze bottle for up to 2-3 days. To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the cream or mix in a teaspoon of lime juice before storing. Stir well before using again.
