Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why not drain the pineapple?

The juice helps dissolve and set the pudding and jello powders.

→ Can I use frozen strawberries?

Fresh works best as frozen can be too watery when thawed.

→ How long does this keep?

Best within 2-3 days when stored covered in refrigerator.

→ Can I make this ahead?

Yes, overnight chilling actually improves texture as marshmallows soften.

→ Can I use homemade whipped cream?

Cool Whip is recommended as it's more stable for longer storage.
