7

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of lemon zest to the strawberry mixture.
Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.

Troubleshooting

If the topping is soft, allow it to cool completely to firm up.
Too much liquid? Ensure your strawberries are not overripe; drain excess liquid if needed.

Recipe Variations

Add a layer of sliced bananas for a different fruit combination.
Use different berries like blueberries or raspberries for variety.

Healthy Alternatives

Substitute half of the sugar with honey or maple syrup.
Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for more fiber.

Serve with fresh mint leaves for garnish.
