Notes
For a lighter version, reduce the condensed milk and add a bit of plain yogurt. Add a drizzle of melted chocolate for a chocolate-covered strawberry effect. Try layering in other fruits like mango, banana, or blueberries for variety. Sprinkle crushed cookies or granola on top for texture. Freeze the cream mixture for 30 minutes before serving for a frozen treat.
