- ✦Lemon Juice Enhancer: 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice enhances natural berry acidity, making the strawberry flavor pop.
- ✦Thick Strained Yogurt: Always use thick Greek yogurt to maintain a firm, spoonable mousse consistency.
- ✦Food Safety: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container at 40°F (4°C) or colder for up to 3 days.
