Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! It’s best made a few hours in advance, but for the freshest texture, serve it within 24 hours.
Can I use frozen berries?
Fresh berries are recommended. Frozen berries release excess liquid as they thaw, which can make the salad watery.
Can I use homemade whipped cream?
Absolutely! Stabilized homemade whipped cream works beautifully.
Can I add mini marshmallows?
Yes! About 1–2 cups of mini marshmallows make a fun, fluffy addition.
How do I keep the berries fresh?
Wash and dry them thoroughly, then gently fold them into the filling just before chilling.
