Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Provides a rich creaminess and tang; substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • 1 Ripe Avocado The star ingredient that adds creaminess and a subtle flavor.
  • 1 clove Garlic Adds a savory depth; consider using roasted garlic for a milder note.
  • 1 Lime Brings brightness and acidity to the mix; lemon juice can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt Enhances all the flavors; adjust to taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Milk Use to thin the crema if desired; almond milk is great for a dairy-free version.

Equipment

  • Blender or Food Processor

  1. In a blender or food processor, add sour cream, ripe avocado, garlic clove, lime zest and juice, and kosher salt. Blend to form the base.
