Notes
- For best results, use premium pie fillings with more berries.
- You can substitute 2 (8 oz.) containers of Cool Whip for the homemade whipped cream, but homemade is preferred.
- Overnight chilling is essential for the layers to set and meld together.
- Garnish with fresh berries or extra whipped cream for a festive touch.
