Easy Fresas Con Crema Recipe – Keto Friendly

Written byMichelle Dickson Updated

I’ve been on a mission to recreate sweet treats I can enjoy without refined sugar, and this refreshing twist on Fresas con Crema is a total win!

Last summer, Steph introduced me to Fresas con Crema, a light and creamy Mexican dessert that’s as refreshing as it is delicious—especially on a hot day.

Fast forward a year, and after discovering that refined sugar was the trigger behind my migraine headaches, I’ve completely cut it from my diet.

That means I’m always on the hunt for ways to reinvent sweet treats I can actually enjoy.

With a little experimenting, I’ve come up with a no-refined-sugar version of Fresas con Crema that’s every bit as dreamy.

I even served it at a recent family dinner and let’s just say… clean bowls and big smiles all around.

Keep scrolling—this one’s a keeper!

What is Fresas Con Crema?

Fresas con crema is a traditional Mexican dessert that combines fresh strawberries with a sweet, creamy mixture.

Kind of like a Mexican version of strawberries and cream, but with its own rich, comforting twist.

It’s typically made with sweetened condensed milk, whipping cream and sour cream, poured over sliced strawberries.

The result is a dessert that’s both refreshing and indulgent—perfect for warm weather or anytime you’re craving something sweet and simple.

How to Make Fresas Con Crema (Keto Version)

To start, add 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice to 1 cup of heavy cream and place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).

Woman squeezes a fresh lime into a measuring cup of heavy cream.

While that chills and thickens, wash, hull, and pat your strawberries dry, then slice them.

Remove excess water from strawberries with a towel.

Once the cream has thickened slightly, stir in the sour cream, vanilla, and powdered Monkfruit until smooth and creamy.

Woman combines sour cream and heavy cream mixture in a stainless steel bowl with a spatula.

Set aside about ½ cup of the sliced strawberries for garnish, then gently fold the rest into the cream mixture.

Spoon into dessert bowls, top with the reserved strawberries, and serve immediately.

Fresas con crema is best enjoyed fresh, right after it’s made.

You can store it in the fridge for 2–5 days, but the strawberries will release their juices and soften, which can change the texture.

For the best results, I like to prep the cream mixture ahead of time and chill it—then just fold in the berries right before serving.

What’s New . . .

I have always had a passion for transforming spaces and creating organized, functional homes. Even as a child, I loved rearranging furniture and decorating my childhood home. In fact my dad would comment he was afraid to come home from work and sit, for fear the furniture would be rearranged. I enjoy the challenge of turning ordinary items into extraordinary pieces, whether it’s a piece of furniture or an entire room. My creativity and attention to detail drive me to find unique ways to breathe new life into any space.

As a wife (to a supportive and patient husband, Steve), mother of three, and grandmother of five, I balance my love for home improvement with family life. I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, and exploring nature. I also frequent yard sales, thrift stores, and vintage markets, always on the lookout for my next project.
