Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries: Dice the strawberries to your preferred size and place them into a medium-sized bowl.
- Blend the media crema and strawberries: In a blender or food processor, combine the media crema with 3/4 cup of the diced strawberries. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the remaining ingredients: Add the vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk, and sour cream to the blended strawberry cream. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Notes
- For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries with vibrant red color and natural sweetness.
- Media crema is a Mexican-style light cream; if unavailable, you can substitute with half-and-half or a combination of light cream and milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sweetened condensed milk according to your taste.
- This dessert can be prepared a few hours in advance but is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the strawberries’ texture.
- Optional toppings can include chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
