Notes
Nutritional facts not calculated with sprinkles.
Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before making the filling—this helps it whip up lighter and fluffier for piping!
Recipe Variations:
Add crushed pecans, walnuts, crumbled cookies or graham cracker to the filling for crunch.
Use flavored pudding like white chocolate or lemon for a twist.
Swap in melted white chocolate for a drizzle over the top.
Add a hint of cinnamon for warmth or spice.
Storing Instructions:
Prepare and pipe the strawberries a few hours ahead and refrigerate. Add sprinkles just before serving.
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. They’re best enjoyed fresh!
Freezing isn’t recommended, as the texture of the strawberries and filling may change after thawing.
