Notes
How to Store
To store Lime Crema, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. The lime juice's acidic nature helps preserve the sauce, but it's best to use it within this timeframe to maintain its freshness and flavor. Before refrigerating, cover the Lime Crema with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent it from drying out or absorbing other flavors from the fridge. When ready to use, give the sauce a good stir to re-incorporate any separated liquid and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Make-Ahead
To make Lime Crema ahead of time, simply follow the recipe as instructed, mixing all the ingredients until creamy. Once prepared, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. The Lime Crema can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, making it convenient for advance preparation before your meal or event.
