Guacamole con Crema

This is my absolute FAVORITE way to consume guacamole because FAT on FAT is life.  We take an already amazingly healthy food (avocado) and throw in some coconut cream from a can of full-fat coconut milk, and BOOM, you basically have a fat bomb.  But in a good way?  I feel like when it comes to guacamole, you’re in one of two camps - you like it straight up (like mash some avo and sprinkle some sea salt and go) OR you’re like me who wants to mix in any and everything into it. Fruit, nuts, brownies - ok maybe not brownies, but seriously, I’ll put anything in my guacamole and call it good.

THIS concoction however, is my absolute favorite way to make guacamole - I love the creaminess that the coconut cream adds to the already creamy avocado - and can we say creamy one more time?? It also gives it a sweetness that I just love when you pair it with the savory aspects of onions and spices!

I feel like I’m just going to take a hard pass at writing anything else about the guac - you guys didn’t come here for the blurb anyways, did you!?? Keep your eyes peeled, this recipe may or may not make a cameo in an upcoming dish I'm brewing up, so be on the lookout!
