Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows for a delightful texture.<\/p>\n<p>The Star of the Show<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s time for the star of the show: 16 ounces of thawed Cool Whip and 2 cups of partially thawed frozen strawberries. Fold these into the mixture until everything is combined, resulting in a luscious, pink concoction. Dice the partially thawed strawberries and gently mix them into the Cool Whip-marshmallow blend, adding a delightful fruity layer.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_1326-300x237.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"237\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_1326-300x237.webp 300w, https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_1326.webp 578w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nAssembling the Dessert<\/p>\n<p>Spoon the filling onto the graham cracker crust, ensuring even and generous coverage.
