Ingredients
Base
- 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt (4% or 5% fat)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon yellow mustard
- ¼ teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Optional
- 1-2 tablespoons milk or milk substitute (for a thinner consistency)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Add the whole milk Greek yogurt, lime juice, yellow mustard, sugar, and sea salt to a medium-sized bowl.
- Whisk together: Use a whisk to blend all the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
- Adjust consistency: If you prefer a thinner crema, gradually whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk or a milk substitute until you reach your desired consistency.
- Store: Transfer the crema to an airtight container or a condiment squeeze bottle and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for up to 7 days.
Notes
- For the richest and creamiest texture, use whole milk Greek yogurt labeled 4% or 5% fat.
- You can substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt if desired.
- Adjust the lime juice to taste for more tanginess.
- If using non-fat yogurt, the texture might be less creamy but still flavorful.
