Notes
The sour cream and lime juice will help retain the green color of the crema. However, it's not a bad idea to press a piece of plastic wrap down over the top of the crema before covering it with a lid.
It tastes freshest when enjoyed the day it is made. However, avocado cream will keep well for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, if covered well. Give it a good stir before serving.
