Preparation Steps

  • Combine the ingredients and whip. To the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S blade, add the avocados, yogurt, and lemon zest and juice. Add red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper, if using, and a big pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper. Blend until smooth and fluffy, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor, about 3 minutes.
  • Adjust the seasoning and texture. Taste and adjust seasoning. If the crema is too thick add 1 teaspoon of water at a time and blend until smooth.
  • Serve or store. Serve the crema immediately or transfer it to an airtight jar and store it in the fridge for up to three days.
