Whip up this classic no-bake Mexican dessert in minutes! It features juicy, fresh strawberries folded into a perfectly sweet and tangy cream sauce. It’s a simple, refreshing treat that’s impossible to resist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and chopped
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup Mexican crema (see notes for a substitute)
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prep the Berries: Gently wash and thoroughly pat the strawberries dry with a paper towel. This is important so you don’t water down the cream! Chop them into slices or quarters.
  2. Make the Cream Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, Mexican crema, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Keep whisking until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Give it a taste and add a bit more condensed milk if you like it sweeter.
  3. Layer It Up: Grab some clear glasses or bowls. Spoon a layer of the cream mixture into the bottom, followed by a layer of chopped strawberries. Repeat until the glasses are full, finishing with a final dollop of cream on top.
  4. Chill Out: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Don’t skip this step! It allows the strawberry juices to mingle with the cream and for the dessert to thicken up perfectly.

Notes

  • Tips & Tricks:
    • Can’t find Mexican crema? No problem. Whisk 1 cup of heavy cream with 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt or buttermilk and let it sit for 20 minutes to thicken slightly.
    • The quality of your berries makes all the difference. Use the freshest, sweetest ones you can find!
  • Serving Suggestions:
    • Serve chilled, straight from the fridge.
    • Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for a fancier touch.
    • It’s lovely on its own or served with simple shortbread cookies.
  • Storage Instructions:
    • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The strawberries will soften over time, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.
    • Freezing is not recommended, as the texture of the cream can become grainy when thawed.
