Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. Fresh Strawberries (sliced lengthwise)
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 3/4 cup Mexican Crema
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- (1) 14.5 ounce can Sweetened Condensed Milk
Instructions
- Start by picking out fresh, ripe, red strawberries. Cut the stems off of the strawberries and slice lengthwise. Place in a large bowl and sprinkle with sugar. This helps to bring out their natural juices and sweetness.
- In a medium bowl, add mexican crema, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk together until it is creamy and smooth. I will add optional ingredient substitutions below.
- Place the strawberries in a clear cup, a clear glass, or a bowl. Pour the cream mixture over the strawberries until you reach near the top of the glass. Serve chilled.
Notes
Fresas con Crema Substitutions:
- Strawberries -- you can use substitute your favorite type of fruit for the strawberries from raspberries, peaches, blackberries, blueberries, bananas, mango, cherries, and more.
- Mexican Crema -- you can substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt in place of the mexican crema. I suggest adding 1-2 Tablespoons of heavy cream to make the sour cream a thinner consistency.
- Heavy Cream -- you can substitute half-n-half for the heavy cream called for in this strawberries and cream.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk -- I would suggest using only sweetened condensed milk and not making a substitution.
