Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • Chopped or sliced strawberry, 3 cups
  • Halved strawberries 8
  • Thick and creamy Homemade Yogurt or full fat greek yogurt 1 cup
  • Sour cream 1 cup or 2 cups heavy cream instead of sour cream and yogurt
  • Sweetened Condensed milk 1 cup
  • Evaporated milk ½ cup
  • Vanilla extract ½ tsp

Garnish

  • Fresh Mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare strawberries: First, wash the strawberries and then remove the stems. Next, slice or chop them into smaller pieces.
  2. Reserve strawberries: Also, reserve about 6 to 8 strawberries with the stems still attached and cut a slice through the middle so the berry remains intact.
  3. Mix cream mixture: When the strawberries are ready, mix the cream or yogurt and sour cream, condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Assemble dessert: Next, spoon the chopped or sliced strawberries into 5 to 6 serving glasses or bowls and then pour the sweet cream mixture over the strawberries.
  5. Garnish strawberries: Finally, use the halved strawberries to garnish on top of the glasses.
  6. Optional layering: For a layered effect, spoon a small amount of strawberries into the bottom of the serving glass or bowl. Next, pour some of the sweet cream mixture over top and then add another layer of strawberries. If you like, you could even add our 3 ingredient strawberry jam instead of the fresh strawberries in the second layer.
  7. Final touch: Finally, drizzle the sweet cream mixture again and then garnish with strawberries again.

Notes

  • You can substitute 1 cup sour cream and 1 cup yogurt with 2 cups heavy cream if preferred.
  • Use fresh mint leaves for garnish to add freshness and color.
  • Try layering with strawberry jam for a different texture and flavor.
