Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries
- 2 cups sour cream
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk (plus more to taste)
- 1 cup Mexican crema (see note)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries and pat them dry with paper towels. Then, remove the leaves and slice the strawberries.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, sweetened condensed milk, Mexican crema, and vanilla. Give the mixture a taste. If you'd like it sweeter, mix in 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk at a time until it's sweetened to your liking.
- In small cups or bowls, alternate adding layers of cream and strawberries, about 3-4 layers each.
- Refrigerate the dessert cups for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to marry together.
Notes
- If you can't find Mexican crema in the refrigerated section of your grocery store, you can use this substitute. Mix 1 tablespoon of lime or lemon juice with 1 cup of heavy cream and let that sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours before using.
- Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight container. The cream might separate slightly, but it will still be safe to consume.
- For a big batch, double or triple the recipe. Chill the crema mixture and then stir in the strawberries. Serve in a large bowl, and use a ladle to spoon the fresas con crema into cups or bowls.
