Equipment
- Small mixing bowl
- Whisk or spoon
- Knife and cutting board
- Serving bowls or glasses
Ingredients
- To make this delightful strawberries with cream and condensed milk dessert for two servings you’ll need:
- 12 tablespoons fresh strawberries washed, hulled, and sliced
- 5 tablespoons of heavy cream chilled for best texture
- 60 ml 5 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare the StrawberriesWash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Remove the green stems (hull them) and slice each strawberry into halves or quarters, depending on your preference. Place the sliced strawberries in a bowl and set aside.
- Whip the CreamIn a small mixing bowl, pour the 5 tablespoons of heavy cream. Using a whisk or spoon, gently stir the cream until it thickens slightly (about 1-2 minutes). You’re not aiming for whipped cream peaks—just a smooth, thickened consistency.
- Add the Condensed MilkPour the 30 ml (2 tablespoons) of sweetened condensed milk into the cream. Stir gently until the mixture is well combined. The condensed milk adds a luscious sweetness that complements the strawberries perfectly.
- Assemble the DessertDivide the sliced strawberries evenly between two serving bowls or glasses. Spoon the cream and condensed milk mixture generously over the strawberries, ensuring each bowl gets a fair share of the creamy goodness.
- Garnish and ServeFor an extra touch, sprinkle some crushed graham crackers or top with a fresh mint leaf. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes if you prefer a cooler treat.
