Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, I first wash and hull the strawberries. I love the smell of fresh strawberries – it’s like summer in my kitchen! Once the strawberries are prepped, I slice them and set them aside. In a mixing bowl, I combine the thawed Cool Whip with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. It’s crucial to gently fold in the sugar until it’s well blended. The texture should be light and airy, which is essential for that perfect pie filling. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
