Avocado Cream
FAQ
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, but it’s best within 24 hours for best color and flavour.
How do I keep it from turning brown?
Lime juice helps, but the best method is airtight storage with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface.
Can I make it thinner?
Yes, add a tablespoon or two of water until you reach your desired consistency.
Can I skip the yogurt?
Yes, but it becomes closer to a guacamole-style sauce and less creamy.
Chef’s Tips
- Use ½ garlic clove if you want it mellow, or a full small clove for more punch
- Add a splash of water if you want a drizzle-style sauce
- Roasted garlic works if you want something softer and slightly sweet
- Best texture comes from fully ripe avocados (soft but not brown inside)
