Description
Fresas con Crema is a refreshing Mexican dessert made with fresh strawberries layered with a creamy, sweet mixture of heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and sour cream. It’s a delightful treat that balances sweetness and tartness, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup sour cream or Mexican crema
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip the cream, as you want a light and airy texture.
2. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream or Mexican crema, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
3. Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then slice or quarter them, depending on your preference.
4. In a clear serving glass or bowl, layer the sliced strawberries and the creamy mixture, finishing with a spoonful of the cream on top.
5. Chill the Fresas con Crema in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
6. Serve the chilled Fresas con Crema, garnishing with additional fresh strawberry slices or a dusting of ground cinnamon, if desired.
Notes
Consider substituting strawberries with other seasonal fruits like mango or blueberries for a unique twist. For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream and a non-dairy yogurt.
