Authentic Mexican fresas with crema recipe.
The best Fresas Con Crema recipe ever! With a creamy filling, juicy strawberries, and whipped cream. Most “antojitos” (street snacks or appetizers) and ice cream parlors serve this wonderful Mexican delicacy.
Mexico loves creamy treats! I also have Arroz Con Leche, Mexican Fruit Salad, Tres Leches cake, Flan, Gelatina De Mosaico, and Dulce De Leche Popsicles. Let me demonstrate!

Ingredients & Substitutions
Without sour cream, make fresas con crema. I prefer alternatives to it in most recipes. Media crema (Mexican table cream) and condensed milk provide the flavor without sour cream.
Fresh strawberries
1 can media crema (substitute Mexican crema or evaporated milk)
sweetened condensed milk
1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt, plain yogurt, or Crème fraîche.
Vanilla essence
Variations:
Pink fresas with crema! Add a few drops of pink artificial food coloring or strawberries to your crema before combining.
Cream cheese replaces Greek yogurt. This recipe may prefer a denser texture. So good!

Cool stuff! Before creating the dish, refrigerate the cans and strawberries.
