Cooking Notes:
- Consistency: Make sure to cook the cream until it is thick and creamy. Continuous stirring prevents it from burning and ensures a smooth texture.
- Strawberry Freshness: Use very ripe strawberries for the best flavor. You can also use other fruits like raspberries or blueberries if you prefer.
