Prep Time 30 mins

Ingredients
  

Whipped Cream

  • 8 oz heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Fresas Con Crema

  • 2 lbs strawberries chilled, cleaned and dried
  • 14 oz La Lechera Original Condensed Milk
  • 7.6 oz Nestle Media Crema Table Cream
  • ½ - 1 cup chopped pecans optional

Instructions
 

Whipped Cream

  • In a bowl, whip all three ingredients until thickened. You can use either a hand whisk or Kitchen Aid. Personally, I like to use a hand whisk. When I use a Kitchen Aid, I tend to walk away and over-whisk my heavy cream. That said, careful not to over whip the heavy cream, otherwise, it will turn into butter-like texture. If you over whip, add some of the remaining heavy cream to help loosen the texture of the cream. Once you have achieved the desired texture, place the whipped cream in the refrigerator to chill.

Fresas Con Crema

  • Clean and dry strawberries. Carefully remove the leaves and stems. Dispose of the leaves and stems as they will not be used in the dessert.
  • Cut one pound of clean strawberries into quarters and set aside in a bowl.
  • Set aside 4 - 6 strawberries from the remaining one pound of strawberries. These will be used as garnish. Place the remaining strawberries in a bowl. Use either a potato masher or fork to gently macerate the strawberries. If you properly dried your strawberries, you should not have a lot of liquid released from the strawberries. If you did not properly dry your berries, drain the excess liquid.
  • In a separate bowl, gently whisk the chilled condensed milk and table cream until fully combined.
  • Use a spatula to gently fold in the macerated strawberries into the condensed milk and table cream. Once you have combined the mixture, fold in the quartered strawberries. Chill the strawberries and cream for one hour prior to serving.
  • After chilling the mixture, use a medium serving spoon to fill a dessert glass with the Fresas con Crema. Top each dessert with a large dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with a whole strawberry.
  • The following step is optional. ½ - 1 cup of pecans will add a lovely texture to the dessert. You can either fold the chopped pecans into the dessert mixture or finish the dessert with the chopped nuts. I hope you enjoy these Fresas Con Crema as much as I do. I love making this dessert during strawberry season. I especially enjoy eating Fresas con Crema alongside a slice of vanilla cake!
