    Fresas con CremaPin

    Fresas con Crema are total decadence for me. You would think that after eating a filling meal like a Colombian Tamal or Bandeja Paisa that it would be impossible to find room for anything else. However, even then, I can never refuse a glass full of fresh and delicious strawberries drowning in sweet cream drizzled with condensed milk.

    This is a popular dessert in my hometown and are sold at fruit stands on the side of the roads outside the city. If you are going to Medellin, look for these stands along the road while driving into the city from the airport. The fresh cream they use to make the Fresas con Crema is fantastic!

    Buen provecho!

      that looks delicious!!
      but I don't have a mixer. . .
      Is it ok if I use a blender in step 1, and a wire whisk for step 2?
      what else could I do?
      Thanks!

      I agree with you! you cannot turn down this dessert even if you had a full meal, because the strawberries and cream are impossible to resist.

        Rosa- You have to keep your mixer on medium-high speed and use heavy cream!

      Hey! I'm doing a extra credit project at school and if I had that class around 3rd period, would it go bad? Would it do anything to effect it? Or would it be fine? But other than that, I can't wait to try this recipe!

      We just returned to the USA from 1 month of traveling in Colombia and had the best ever fresas con creme in Laguna de la Cocha, near Pasto. So we came home and made your recipe! I needed to double the amount of powdered sugar to get it sweet enough for our taste. Delicioso!

      When you lived in Medillian,
      What kind of cream did you buy for the
      "Heavy Cream ". ?
      I have bought crema de leche and it was not the same as in the USA
