Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, blend the strawberries and sugar longer. If you want to reduce sugar, consider using a sugar substitute that measures like sugar. You can also experiment with other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a different flavor. To make it more decadent, try folding in crushed cookies, like Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies(Soft), into the mixture before freezing.
