Notes
Tip 1: This recipe is easy to customize to suit your taste. Simply swap out the strawberries and use your favorite berries instead.
Tip 2: If using frozen strawberries, do not thaw. Simply rinse them, gently pat dry and slice. If using frozen blueberries, or raspberries, do not thaw - simply rinse, pat dry and use.
Tip 3: Lightly toasting the nuts before mixing in will give the cups an additional crunch. Yum!
