BEST Fresas con Crema (Mexican Strawberries and Cream)
Fresas con crema is a delicious Mexican dessert made with strawberries and a sweetened Mexican cream mixture. It’s simplicity at its finest!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Mexican crema
- 2 tablespoons sugar or to taste
- 1 pound strawberries
Instructions
- Make cream mixture. In a bowl, mix the crema mexicana until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness, if desired.
- Prepare strawberries. Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries. I like to slice them lengthwise. Add a layer of sliced strawberries to the bottom of a cup or bowl. Spoon or pour a layer of the cream mixture on top of the strawberries. Then repeat with another layer of strawberries and cream until the cup is full.
- Serve and enjoy. Chill for about 10-15 minutes before serving, if desired.
A Note from Lola
- Crema Mexicana is an unsalted Mexican table cream that is found in most Latin supermarkets. I have even found it at my regular grocery store. It's the consistency of whipping cream, and isn't nearly as sour as sour cream.
- Sugar should be adjusted depending on cream used in recipe. I find that canned table cream is slightly sweeter and less acidic than crema Mexicana, and therefore requires less sugar.
- I sometimes like to add sliced bananas when ready to serve.
