    If there is any leftovers, you may store the strawberries and cream in the refrigerator, however, the cream may slightly separate as it sits for a while so you need to stir the contents using a spoon just before serving.

    You can also serve this simply without any additional whipped cream topping. Just add in some fresh strawberries for topping if you like, to keep it more simple and for lesser calories.

    If you add whipped cream topping, always add the whipped cream just before serving the dessert for the best results.

    Also you may simply stir in more cream or top with more cream as you wish!
