Nestle Strawberry Quick is not a product I would buy or use for anything else. Do you think I could substitute dry strawberry Jell-O mix?
Stephanie Brubaker says
I have tried this before…the taste is much stronger so don’t use the whole package. I would start with 2 tsp and go from there. The color will also be much brighter. Let me know how it goes 🙂
Abby says
What would be the best way to add fresh strawberries into this reciepe? would i have to swap anything else out?
Stephanie Brubaker says
You probably won’t need to add any cream because of the juice from the berries. Let me know how you like it!
