About Crema ala huancaina
Crema Ala Huancaina is a traditional Peruvian sauce, rich and flavorful, often used to accompany potatoes, pasta, or vegetables. Its main ingredients typically include queso fresco, evaporated milk, yellow chili peppers (ají amarillo), garlic, and crackers or bread for thickening. This creamy sauce originates from the Huancayo region of Peru and boasts a vibrant yellow color and a mildly spicy profile. While it is a beloved staple in Peruvian cuisine, its nutritional profile should be considered. The inclusion of queso fresco and evaporated milk contributes calcium and protein, though the sauce can be calorie-dense due to its dairy content. Ají amarillo provides antioxidants and vitamins, adding a subtle health benefit. However, Crema Ala Huancaina is high in saturated fats and sodium depending on the recipe, so moderation is key for maintaining a balanced diet. For lighter options, substitutes like low-fat cheese or milk can be used.
