Vegan fresas con crema (Mexican Strawberries and cream)
Fresas con crema is one of the easiest Mexican desserts you'll ever make, no baking or cooking required. This dessert consists of fresh sliced strawberries mixed into a thick and scrumptious sweet cream (crema). This is the vegan recipe and you'll have it ready in 10 minutes.
Prepare your strawberries. Wash, stem, and quarter or slice them. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle with a tablespoon of cane sugar. Set aside.
Make the crema. Blend the macadamia nuts with almond milk, sugar, lime juice, and vanilla. Mix with sugar and vanilla if you are using vegan cashew sour cream or store-bought vegan heavy cream.
Put it all together: scoop about a half of strawberries into a cup, drizzle with sweet vegan crema, add more strawberries and finish with two or three tablespoons of cream.
Notes
Substitute the macadamias with 3/4 cup of raw cashews.
Use homemade almond milk, water, or any other non-dairy milk
Use store-bought vegan sour cream or heavy cream
Use the cashew sour cream instead of making it
Add lime or lemon zest to the crema; not traditional and totally optional but still very delicious.
