Ingredients for Avocado Cream
Avocado, we like Hass avocados better because they have a much creamier texture with better flavor. Make sure your avocado is ripe (pressing the skin gently should leave a slight mark, if using Hass the skin should be very dark not green).
Sour cream, what makes this Avocado Cream a Cream or Crema instead of a regular blended guacamole is the sour cream base. It adds richness, creaminess and a slight milky tang. Try also our Cottage Cheese Avocado Dip for a more protein-rich dip!
Cilantro, for that herbal freshness, you can leave it out if you’re not a fan of cilantro!
Lime juice or lemon juice, to brighten the flavor & keep the avocado from browning.
Salt.

Avocado Cream
Ingredients
- 1 avocado (we like Hass, make sure it's ripe)
- 1/2 cup (120 g) sour cream
- 1/4 cup (5 g) cilantro
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or up to 1 teaspoon or to taste)
- Splash of water (optional, to thin out for a pourable texture)
Instructions
- Add the avocado, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice and salt to a blended and blend until smooth. If you'd like a pourable, add a splash of water and blend again. If you want it to be spicy, add 1/2 jalapeño with seeds. Store any leftovers tightly covered with plastic wrap (making sure the plastic wrap touches the dip) in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
