  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together Mexican crema, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Layer the sliced strawberries in a clear cup or bowl. Pour the creamy mixture over the strawberries until they are nearly full, creating beautiful layers.
  4. You can serve Fresas con Crema immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for a bit. For extra cold, set the cream mixture bowl in ice.
