About this Recipe

Fresas con Crema, aka strawberries and cream, is a popular Mexican no-bake dessert. Plump and juicy fresh strawberries and their syrup are folded into a smooth, homemade vanilla whipped cream. This four-ingredient dessert is ready to serve in under 30 minutes. The vanilla whipped cream in Frescas con Crema provides a cool and creamy contrast to the fresh and light fruit. While traditionally made with strawberries, you could also make this quick and easy dessert with pineapple, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, or mango.
