Instructions

  1. Place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  2. Transfer to a jar or squeeze bottle and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Makes a total of 1 ¼ cups.
  • Though you can enjoy this immediately, I recommend leaving the sauce in the fridge for a few hours or overnight before serving. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will mingle and get to know each other. This helps the crema taste even better than if you were to enjoy it as soon as it’s ready!
  • The crema will naturally thicken in the fridge, so feel free to mix in a splash of lime juice or a teaspoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
