Forget what you know about guacamole! Once you make crema, it will be your new go-to, too, with ripe avocados.
Tangy with a richness that is fresh for up to five days, crema is perfect for dipping, dolloping, dousing or licking straight from a spoon. Try it on tacos, use it as a sandwich spread, or serve it with tortilla chips. It even makes a sauce for shrimp, which we discovered in our Shrimp in Chili Avocado Crema Sauce dish.
What’s the recipe? Let’s get right to it!
