Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup light olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by peeling and roughly chopping a garlic clove and fresh cilantro.
This will help ensure that the ingredients blend smoothly.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients in the Blender
In a blender, food processor, or the chopper cup of an immersion blender, combine the cottage cheese, chopped cilantro, garlic clove, and lime juice.
These foundational ingredients will create a flavorful crema.
Step 3: Blend to a Smooth Consistency
Blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
If you find that some ingredients are sticking to the sides, feel free to scrape them down to ensure even blending.
Step 4: Adjust Flavor and Add Olive Oil
After blending, taste the crema and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Then, add the light olive oil and blend again until everything is well combined and creamy.
Step 5: Season and Chill
Season the crema with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring all flavors are balanced.
Once seasoned, transfer the crema to a container and chill until you’re ready to serve.
This will allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
