Notes

Store: Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. The strawberries will continue to soften, which makes it even more like strawberries and cream soup. Still tasty, just more delicate.
Freeze: This recipe is not ideal for freezing as the cream can separate, but if you must, try freezing in popsicle molds for a creamy strawberry treat.
Make Ahead: You can prep the base up to a day ahead and stir in freshly sliced strawberries 30 minutes before serving to keep them firm.
