Notes

    1. Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet dessert or you have super sweet strawberries (lucky you!), adjust the amount of brown sugar to taste. You can also add a pinch of salt to the cream mixture.
    2. Vegan Option: Use vegan sour cream (I like the Kite Hill brand) or coconut cream instead of sour cream.
    3. Strawberries: Make this with the best strawberries you can find. Frozen strawberries don't work they are too soft and squishy when thawed. If strawberries aren't in season, use a different fruit like pineapple, mango, or a combination of fresh fruit.
    4. Serving Suggestions: Besides cups, serve it in small bowls, mason jars, or even over waffles/pancakes for breakfast. If you want to double or triple the recipe for a crowd, mix the strawberries and cream in a large bowl.
