FAQs
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?
Frozen strawberries are best for achieving the creamy, soft-serve texture. Using fresh strawberries may result in a thinner consistency unless you add ice or freeze the mixture afterward.
Is this recipe suitable for a vegan diet?
Yes, as long as you use a plant-based milk like coconut milk and ensure your powdered sugar is vegan-friendly, this recipe is completely vegan.
