Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon buttermilk
- 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Put the heavy cream in a 16-ounce microwave-safe glass jar. Microwave on high until the cream is just under 100 degrees F, about 30 to 40 seconds. Add the buttermilk, close the jar, and store in a warm place for 24 hours. The cream will have thickened to the consistency of thin yogurt.
- Add the chipotle chile and salt and process with an immersion blender, in the jar, until smooth, approximately 20 seconds. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Reviews
Really good. I wanted more smoky heat, so I added 3 chipotles. The adobo sauce is soooo good. We used this on smoked chicken tacos and everyone liked it. Fun little science experiment too. Looking forward to using it again.
This adobo crema is a household staple now in my house. It’s fantastic and put it on basically anything. I always make an adobo crema and a cilantro crema. For the cilantro crema instead of the adobo, I add a handful of fresh cilantro. This makes taco night even more fun.
So, good. Question: how long will stay good in the fridge?
Absolutly love this sauce .. I eat it on everything!! I am going to add just a little something, that I actually read on here .. I am roasting some garlic cloves, and am going to add just a little roasted garlic.
One hint .. don’t buy those cheap little squeeze bottles! Go to a restaurant supply store (or online and buy commercial grade bottles. I got a pack of 6 heavy duty bottles for $5.99, well worth the trouble!
This was so easy and so great. I don’t have an immersion blender, so I just used my stand blender and it worked just fine. I love heat, so I doubled the Chipotle and added 1/2 tsp of granulated garlic. YUM! Next time I’m going to try adding a big helping of fresh cilantro.
To haston.family_1… He never said to leave it at room temp for 3 days! {although I’m sure that would be fine} on the show he said 1 or 2 days, here he said 24 hours.
Love this Crema has a permanent place in my fridge.
my hubby absolutely loved it… he says this is a once a week meal for sure…I made Chicken Tacos and added the Crema to it YUMMMY! thank you so much for making the hubby happy!!! 😉
My wife and I were both quite worried about leaving milk products at room temperature for 3 days, but this turned out wonderful! We added 1 tsp of cumin and garlic powder and twice the chipotle in adobo. Amazing.
If you enjoy this type of food, this recipe produces a great flavor, texture amd aroma. Per my grandchildrens’ opinions…T E R R I F I C !!!
