Learn how to make Strawberry Cream, a mild, light and so delicious dessert with fresh strawberries and cream.

When strawberries are in season, this is a perfect dessert to make the best use strawberries. A no fuss recipe that has two main ingredients and needs no cooking or no whipped cream.
This is another recipe that I learned from my Masi(maternal aunt) checkout my kids favorite Eggless, Gelatin-free Chocolate Pudding. My masi makes Mix Fruit cream, using Amul cream with a variety of fruits like oranges, grapes, apples and strawberries. This recipe Strawberry Cream may sound similar to the famous Mahabaleshwar's Strawberry Whipped Cream , but is different from it. Mahabaleshwar is a small hill station near Mumbai Maharashtra(India) famous for its Strawberries in winters months from Dec-Feb. There is an popular outlet which serves it's popular dessert made with fresh seasonal strawberries and whipped cream.
In my recipe of Strawberry Cream, we use Amul Cream(available in India) and not whipped cream that is used in the famous Mahabaleshwar's Strawberry Cream .
In US we don't get Amul Cream so Heavy Whipped Cream(without whipping) to make fruit cream or strawberry Cream.
