Strawberries with cream Ukrainian-style
Description
Sour cream and strawberries – now that's something! When fresh strawberries get boring in summer, we always make Ukrainian-style strawberries with cream (or, more accurately, strawberries with sour cream). It's the perfect dessert or snack on a hot day, and an ideal way to enjoy strawberries that aren't too sweet. I have no doubt that every Ukrainian family makes this dessert in July. It's extremely popular thanks to its simplicity and quick preparation, low cost (strawberries are grown all over Ukraine, and sour cream is no problem either), and, of course, its delicious taste. Give it a try! :)

Step 3
Using a potato masher, crush the strawberries. Do not try to do this with a blender—the blender will puree everything, but we need some whole pieces of strawberry to remain in the mixture. This is the key point of the dessert, so don't overdo the crushing—just press the strawberries enough to release their juice.
