Notes

NOTE: This is really good for only about 12 hours. It is best to make it only a few hours before you need to serve it. It gets a little mushy after a couple of days in the refrigerator.

NOTE: Garnish with additional fresh strawberries, if desired.

NOTE: I usually place the frozen strawberries in the refrigerator about a day before using in order to thaw them completely.
