Sounds so yummy! Can xantham gum or guar gum be used in place of the arrowroot powder?
Yes meme, you just need some type of thickener for the strawberries!
I tried this today and it was amazing! It's not "good for a sugar-free dessert" good. It's just GOOD! I was thinking that the strawberry glaze might also make a good jam to put on toast. (Made with your easy peanut butter bread of course!)
I made this for Mothers Day and it was so good!!
Lyn and Linda G, so glad you liked it! I made another one for Mother's Day and froze it… delicious! Warning though if you freeze it solid, it will take hours to soften even slightly! 😉
Oh wow! I didn't know you can freeze it! Awesome!
