Fresas con Crema is a delicious Mexican dessert featuring fresh strawberries coated in a rich, sweet cream mixture made from sour cream, evaporated milk, heavy whipping cream, and sweetened condensed milk. This creamy treat is enhanced with vanilla extract and can be served with an optional dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. Perfect for a quick, refreshing, and creamy dessert that serves 8.

Ingredients

Strawberries

  • 32 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled

Cream Mixture

  • 16 ounces sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (e.g., La Lechera)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Optional Topping

  • Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice Strawberries: Begin by washing and hulling the fresh strawberries, then slice them into thin, even slices to ensure they mix well with the creamy mixture.
  2. Prepare Cream Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, evaporated milk, heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients together for about 2 minutes until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Assemble Dessert: Spoon 1/2 cup of the sliced strawberries into individual serving cups or bowls. Pour 1/2 cup of the prepared cream mixture over the strawberries, ensuring they are well covered.
  4. Serve: Serve the Fresas con Crema immediately, optionally topping each serving with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra creamy touch. This dessert serves 8, with each serving approximately 1 cup.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.
  • Adjust the sweetness by using less sweetened condensed milk if desired.
  • This dessert is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Make sure to beat the cream mixture well to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
