For The Food Lover

Of course. I recommend putting between 4-10 cloves of garlic depending on how high your tolerance is. My family loves garlic so I will normally put between 8-10 cloves but it all depends on how you like it. If you do want more garlic, I recommend placing all of the ingredients except the garlic in the food processor and then processing until creamy. Then add the desired amount of garlic but don’t wait for it all to blend together. Allow there to be some small to medium sized chunks of garlic and this will create a stronger garlicky taste. 

Coconut milk has been known to be an aggravate and inflammatory food for some people (I should know since that is my mother). So the answer is no, you don’t have to put coconut milk. If you do skip the coconut milk, I recommend adding 2-3 more tablespoons of olive oil to maximize the creaminess. 

Cilantro is like a love-hate relationship, some people love it and some people hate it. I am in the latter category as I will get sick even smelling cilantro. I know many people like cilantro in their avocado crema so it is on the ingredients list as an optional. You do not need to add cilantro, it just provides a different taste for those who like it. 

I personally have never tried this recipe with avocado oil but I believe that the flavor and taste of the avocado crema would be the same. However, I do recommend using olive oil over avocado oil.

Avocado crema can be a dip or spread for virtually anything. I recommend pairing it with cassava flour tortillas or a flatbread.
