- Continue layering until the cups are filled, ending with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
- Garnish each cup with fresh mint leaves.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a cooler treat.
Notes
For an added twist, consider adding a layer of crushed sugar-free biscuits between the strawberry and cream layers for extra texture.
