    Can you use frozen raspberries in place of the strawberries. I believe strawberries have a higher water content though so would the ratios be different?

    Thermo Foodie and The Chef says:

    Frozen work great and no need to adjust the recipe, ive used frozen a few times already 🙂

    Super easy to make and delicious! How long will it keep in the fridge?

    Thermo Foodie and The Chef says:

    5-6 days. We’re so glad you enjoyed it!

    Jane says:

    Can we cheat and use store bought sugar free Jelly for the strawberry layer?

    Thermo Foodie and The Chef says:

    definitely! its just we prefer erythritol so ive written the recipe to utilise this, but if you want to use the store bought jellly it will work beautifully.

    Can you use Xylitol instead of Erythritol? I prefer to use Xylitol as my sweetner.

    Thermo Foodie and The Chef says:

    Yes you sure can those two sweeteners are interchangeable https://www.thermofoodieandthechef.com/sweeteners/
