Ingredients You’ll Need
You’re going to need a handful of ingredients that you probably already have lying around your kitchen. Here’s the magical list:
- Fresas: Sweet, juicy strawberries—because who can resist?
- Maïzena: This is cornstarch, your little thickening agent.
- Azúcar: Sugar. Let’s be real, it makes everything better.
- Leche: Milk, the creamier, the better.
- Crème fraîche épaisse: Because regular whipped cream is so last year.
- Azúcar vainillado: Vanilla sugar, for that extra sweet touch.
- Huevo: One egg to hold it all together.
- Sal: A pinch to elevate the flavor—it’s like the salt bae of desserts.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Get ready to strap on your apron and unleash your inner culinary genius. Follow these simple steps:
- Lava y corta las fresas. Seriously, wash those bad boys and slice them up.
- En un cazo, mezcla la maïzena con el azúcar. Combine them like you’re creating a potion.
- Agrega la leche y mezcla bien. Stir it up until there are no lumps—this isn’t a workout, folks.
- Calienta a fuego medio, removiendo hasta que espese. Keep stirring, and avoid getting too distracted by Netflix.
- En un bol, bate la crème fraîche con el azúcar vainillado, el huevo y una pizca de sal. Mix until it’s smooth and creamy, just like your favorite smoothie.
- Incorpora las fresas a la mezcla de leche y luego añade la mezcla de crème. Your mixture is coming together beautifully—congratulations!
- Refrigera antes de servir. Let it chill for at least an hour. This is the hardest step; just grab a snack and wait.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Now that we’re all set to make this delicious Postre de fresas, let’s talk about some rookie mistakes that could ruin your dessert dreams:
- Not washing the fresas: Seriously, do you want a side of dirt with your dessert? No thanks.
- Thinking you don’t need to measure the sugar: Your sweet tooth might rebel if you go rogue with the sugar amount. Stick to the measurements, my friend.
- Skipping the refrigeration step: This dessert needs its beauty sleep, or it might just turn into a gooey mess.
- Using low-fat milk: Sure, you can, but your puddle of deliciousness might need a little pep talk. Regular milk is the way to go.
- Ignoring the pinches of salt: Salt isn’t just for salty dishes. It brings out sweetness like your besties bring out your personality.
Alternatives & Substitutions
You want to walk on the wild side with your ingredients? Here are some fun substitutions that’ll keep things interesting:
- Fresas: You can swap strawberries for any berry you fancy. Blueberries or raspberries work wonders too.
- Maïzena: Out of cornstarch? Use flour, but you might need to adjust the amount a bit.
- Crème fraîche épaisse: Greek yogurt provides a healthier twist. Will it taste the same? Probably not, but who doesn’t love a good yogurt dessert?
- Azúcar vainillado: Don’t have any? A drop of vanilla extract will jazz things up.
- Leche: Go for almond or oat milk if you’re feeling fancy and hipster.
