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.
