This vibrant avocado cream is a sophisticated twist on traditional guacamole, offering a silky, aerated texture that feels wonderfully indulgent. The addition of tangy soured cream and sharp apple cider vinegar cuts through the richness of the ripe avocado, while fresh coriander and fennel fronds provide a fragrant, aniseed-infused finish. It is an excellent vegetarian option for those seeking a quick and colourful addition to a summer spread or a relaxed weekend lunch.
