Today is National Strawberries and Cream Day! One of my favorite desserts is Fresas Con Creama which means strawberries with cream. Fresas Con Crema calls for only 5 ingredients and it is so delicious. I get my Fresas con crema at little Paletas in Pleasant Grove, Texas. They're a bit pricey at $4 a cup, but so worth it.
I knew there had to be a way to make my own, so I have doing some experimenting and I think I have finally come up with a combination that I'm happy with. I use media table cream for my Tres Leche Cake (three milks cake), so I thought it would be the perfect cream to make Fresas Con Creama.

In Mexico vendors sell walk-away cups of fresas con crema, along with other natural fruits and ice creams at markets and along the roadside stands. Since I won't be getting to any road side stand anytime soon, I thought it was time I made my own.
Fresh sliced strawberries just scream summer, so let's get started on this simple recipe.

add the milk and powdered sugar.
Mix well with a wire whisk until blended. Taste the mixture and see if it's to your sweetness. I found about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of powdered sugar works perfectly.
Add one cup sliced strawberries to a tall glass or bowl. You can sprinkle a bit of sugar on the strawberries if you like.
Pour the cream over the strawberries until the cream covers them. Add whipping cream and garnish with a whole or halved strawberry and additional whipped cream.

Wanted to give you the full ingridiant for this recipe: Here in Oceanside California, Mexicanos add:
- Granola w/ Sliced:Alomonds & Coconut
- Natural Bee Honey
On the top of the Fresas con Crema. We dont add whip cream.
However you enjoy your fresas con crema is up to your taste & creation.
Try it though, you will love it!!! Good luck!! :) :)
In L.A. the places that sell this also add granola with almonds and honey and its good but I think the true mexican original is the best I ever tasted and that one only had the strawberries and the cream. Thanks for posting this.
