Fresas Con Crema is a classic Mexican dessert featuring fresh, sweet strawberries combined with a rich and creamy sauce made from Mexican crema, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. This easy-to-make treat balances fruity freshness with smooth creaminess, perfect for a light dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Strawberries

  • 2 lbs fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Cream Mixture

  • 1 cup Mexican crema (or sour cream)
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry. Hull and slice the strawberries into quarters and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Sweeten Strawberries: If the strawberries are not very sweet, sprinkle the optional granulated sugar over them and let sit for about 5 minutes. This step will help enhance their natural sweetness.
  3. Make the Cream Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Mexican crema, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Strawberries and Cream: Pour the cream mixture over the sliced strawberries. Gently fold the strawberries into the cream until they are evenly coated, being careful not to break the berries apart.
  5. Chill and Serve: Serve the Fresas Con Crema immediately for a fresher taste, or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with mint leaves if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Mexican crema can be substituted with sour cream if unavailable, though crema is slightly thinner and tangier.
  • Adjust sugar quantity based on the sweetness of your strawberries and personal preference.
  • This dessert is best served chilled but can also be enjoyed immediately after preparation.
  • For a dairy-free version, consider using coconut cream in place of Mexican crema and a plant-based condensed milk alternative.
  • Garnishing with fresh mint leaves adds a lovely aroma and touch of color.
