How to Make Avocado Cream Sauce

  1. Combine the avocado, minced garlic, lime juice, and herbs in a food processor. Process until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Ensure the butter doesn't brown.
  3. Gently stir in the avocado puree into the melted butter. Cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until warmed through. Do not boil.
  4. Reduce heat to its lowest setting. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream (or coconut cream). Continue to heat gently for another minute, or until heated through. Do not boil, as this can cause the sauce to separate.
  5. Remove from heat and season generously with salt to taste. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
