Note
For best results, ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed but still cold before folding it in to maintain the airy texture.
You can use fresh strawberries instead of frozen; just slice them thinly and pat dry to prevent excess moisture from making the dessert too runny.
This dessert can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Store covered in the refrigerator.
If you prefer a stronger strawberry flavor, add a tablespoon of strawberry jam or puree to the gelatin mixture.
Drain excess liquid from the thawed frozen strawberries before adding them to the mixture to keep the fluff light and fluffy.
