FAQs
Can I use frozen strawberries for this recipe?
Fresh strawberries work best because they hold their shape better when roasted. Frozen berries tend to become mushy, so it’s recommended to use fresh.
What can I substitute for Marshmallow Fluff?
You can use marshmallow creme or even marshmallow spread as a substitute. Some people melt marshmallows slightly to create a similar coating as well.
