strawberries and cream

Classic British dessert

Strawberries and cream is fresh strawberries served with cream—whipped, poured, or clotted.

The combination is a classic British dessert, particularly associated with Wimbledon and summer occasions.

The phrase describes a color pairing of pink-red and white: a strawberries-and-cream complexion suggests rosy, healthy skin.
