Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Fresh is best for texture, but if you thaw and drain frozen ones well, they'll work in a pinch.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! Just keep it chilled in the fridge until serving.

Can I use whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

Sure can! Just make sure it's stabilized so it holds up.
