Instructions

Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and finely chop the fresh strawberries into small pieces for the best texture in your dessert.
Make the Milk Mixture: In a bowl, combine cold milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream if you are using it. Add sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of the strawberries. Mix well until smooth.
Assemble the Cups: In clear cups or dessert glasses, layer the chopped strawberries followed by pouring some of the milk mixture over them. Continue layering and finish with a milk mixture layer on the top.
Garnish and Chill: Sprinkle crushed pistachios and desiccated coconut over the top, add an extra drizzle of condensed milk for richness, then place in the refrigerator to chill for 20 to 30 minutes.
Serve Cold: Serve chilled as a light and refreshing dessert or a midday fruity treat. Optionally, add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top for extra creaminess.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar and condensed milk according to your strawberries’ natural sweetness.
Chilling the dessert enhances the flavors and provides a refreshing experience.
You can substitute cold milk with plant-based milk to make it dairy-free but note this will alter the original taste.
For added texture and flavor, try sprinkling chopped nuts like almonds instead of pistachios.
This dessert is best enjoyed within the same day to maintain freshness of strawberries.
