FAQs

How can I transport this walking dessert?

I like to store everything in small cooler in individual containers. Then set everything up when I arrive at the party.

How can I serve this walking dessert?

Keep cold items in the fridge until ready to serve. If setting up as an assembly serve cold items on ice especially if outside.

Can I serve this recipe in bulk?

Yes, of course. If you need to serve a large crowd you can double or triple this recipe to how many servings you need. I would suggest buying the pretzels in bulk at Sam’s Club.

Can I make this ahead of time?

I would only suggest making the homemade whipped cream and slicing the berries up ahead of time and storing in the fridge the day before. When ready to serve lay everything out for everyone to assemble their individual bags.
