Notes
Storage:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing. We do not recommend freezing.
Tips:
- Adjust sweetness with plain Greek yogurt or extra sour cream. Use fruit packed in water for less sweetness.
- Add marshmallows just before serving to keep them fluffy, or toss them in powdered sugar to prevent sogginess.
- Drain canned fruits well and pat dry to avoid excess liquid.
- Double or triple the recipe for larger gatherings.
