Ingredients
Strawberries
- 2 lbs strawberries
Cream Mixture
- 1 (7.6 ounce) can media crema
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Dice the strawberries to your preferred size and place them in a medium-sized bowl, setting them aside while preparing the cream mixture.
- Blend Media Crema and Strawberries: In a blender or food processor, combine the media crema with about 3/4 cup of the diced strawberries. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the strawberry flavor is well incorporated.
- Mix Remaining Ingredients: Pour the blended strawberry cream back into a bowl and add the vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk, and sour cream. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a smooth, luscious cream.
- Combine with Strawberries: Pour the cream mixture over the remaining diced strawberries. Gently stir to coat all the strawberry pieces evenly with the cream.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the Fresas Con Crema immediately for optimal freshness and texture, or cover and refrigerate for a chilled dessert. This dish tastes wonderful both ways.
Notes
- Media crema is a Mexican style light cream; it can be substituted with heavy cream or half-and-half if unavailable.
- Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk based on your preferred sweetness level.
- This dessert is best served fresh but can be chilled for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
- For a vegan version, use coconut cream and a plant-based sweetened condensed milk alternative.
- Gently stir to avoid mashing the strawberries, preserving their texture.
