Mexican strawberries and cream use super simple ingredients that give it an incredible sweetness and creaminess and sweet flavor!
The best part is that all of these ingredients come together to create the perfect dessert in only 10 minutes or less. All you have to do is slice the berries and mix everything together in a bowl.
