Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Cream Mixture
- 1 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the Mexican crema, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and sugar if using. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring all components are fully incorporated.
- Add Strawberries: Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the cream mixture, making sure the strawberries are evenly coated without breaking them up. This step evenly distributes the flavors throughout the fruit.
- Chill the Dessert: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the cream to thicken slightly, enhancing the dessert’s texture and taste.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve the Fresas Con Crema in individual cups or dessert bowls. Optionally, garnish with extra sliced strawberries or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a decorative and flavorful touch.
Notes
- For a thicker consistency, reduce or omit the evaporated milk in the cream mixture.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream for Mexican crema if it’s not available.
- Garnish with extra fresh strawberries or sprinkle cinnamon for added flavor and presentation.
