FAQ
Can I freeze this dessert?
It’s best enjoyed chilled, not frozen, as freezing alters the creamy texture.
Can I make it ahead?
Yes! In fact, this dessert tastes best when made the night before so the layers fully set.
What can I use instead of Cool Whip?
Try light whipped cream or a homemade whipped topping for a fresher alternative.
