Fresas con Crema is a classic Mexican dessert featuring fresh strawberries combined with a rich, creamy mixture of sour cream, evaporated milk, heavy whipping cream, and sweetened condensed milk, finished with vanilla extract. This easy, no-bake treat is perfect for a quick and delicious fruit dessert, served chilled and optionally topped with whipped cream.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

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 (such as La Lechera)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Topping (Optional)

  • Whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Slice the fresh strawberries into thin, even slices to ensure they mix well with the creamy mixture and offer consistent texture in every bite.
  2. Mix Cream Base: In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, evaporated milk, heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture for about 2 minutes until smooth and slightly aerated.
  3. Assemble Dessert: In serving cups or bowls, spoon about 1/2 cup of sliced strawberries as the base layer. Then pour 1/2 cup of the prepared cream mixture over the strawberries evenly.
  4. Serve: Optionally, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream for added richness and visual appeal. Serve immediately or refrigerate briefly until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.
  • Adjust the sweetness by controlling the amount of sweetened condensed milk based on your taste preference.
  • Ensure strawberries are fresh and ripe for the best flavor balance.
  • This dessert is best served chilled but can be enjoyed at room temperature if preferred.
  • Can be prepared a few hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap.
