For an extra touch of elegance, garnish each serving with a fresh mint sprig or a sprinkle of finely grated lime zest before serving. Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to your preference. If you prefer a less sweet dessert, start with 1/4 cup and add more to taste. Ensure the strawberries are dry before dicing and adding them to the cream. Excess moisture can dilute the cream and affect the overall texture. If you don't have Mexican vanilla extract, regular vanilla extract can be substituted, but the Mexican variety imparts a unique, slightly spicy flavor. For a thicker consistency, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
