Tips:  

- For a fruity twist, substitute raspberries or blueberries

for the strawberries to create a mixed berry version.  

- Enhance the flavor by adding a layer of strawberry jam

on top before chilling for extra sweetness.  

- Serve with fresh lemon slices or a dollop of whipped

cream for a lighter, more refreshing presentation.
