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.
