FAQs
Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh raspberries can be used, but frozen raspberries help keep the dessert chilled and add a slight firmness. If using fresh, add them just before serving to avoid excess moisture.
Can I make this dessert dairy-free?
To make a dairy-free version, substitute the Cool Whip and vanilla yogurt with dairy-free alternatives, and choose a non-dairy instant pudding mix if available.
