Can I make mixed berry yum yum ahead of time?

Yes, it’s best made ahead. Let it chill for at least 8 hours or overnight so the layers firm up and slice clean.

Can I use frozen fruit instead of pie filling?

You can, but cook it down first and cool it completely. Frozen fruit releases extra liquid that can affect the layers.

How do I keep the layers from mixing?

Use the dollop method and spread gently. Avoid pressing too hard so the layers stay separate.

Can I reduce the sweetness?

You can slightly reduce the confectioners’ sugar, but not too much or the texture of the cream layer may change.

Freezing is not recommended. The cream layer tends to lose its texture after thawing.
