Vegan Avocado Crema
This vegan avocado crema is deliciously creamy, dairy-free, and made from cashews. It's got a tang and zest that packs a flavorful punch. Everything is blended to perfection and thinned to create the ideal crema consistency. It's the perfect compliment to birria black bean tacos, chili, or sweet potato quesadillas.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soaked cashews
- 1/2 avocado-pitted and skin removed
- 1 tbsp lime juice (can substitute apple cider vinegar)
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk or cream
- 2 cloves garlic-minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Soak your cashews in boiling water for at least five minutes. Ideally, soak them for 30 min to an hour to make sure they soften and are as creamy as possible.
- Blend all the ingredients in a high-powered blender or food processor until completely smooth and no solid pieces remain. Thin with a little water or milk until you get the right drizzling consistency. Top with fresh cilantro if desired.
- Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days and use as your next new favorite topping or as a sour cream substitute in recipes.
