Storage Tips
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Stir gently before serving again, as the strawberries may release some juice.
- Avoid freezing the dip, as it can affect the texture and make it watery when thawed.
- For best quality, consume within 48 hours if fresh strawberries are used.
