Note

For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries for the most vibrant flavor and color.

If you prefer a smoother texture, ensure you strain the puree thoroughly to remove all seeds.

This dessert can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

You can substitute the artificial sweetener with honey or agave nectar if you prefer natural sweeteners, though this will affect the vegan status if not careful with other ingredients.
