Marelie’s comments about this recipe:
This is a sweet childhood memory like no other for me! We used to make it with plain rice crispies, but this version with the extra strawberry flavour is such a treat!
The freeze-dried strawberries worked very well as a topping, making it an interesting point of discussion with family and friends. Freeze-dried strawberries are flash-frozen at their optimal ripeness and then their moisture is removed via freeze-drying. While fresh fruit is the ideal choice, freeze-dried fruits are the next best choice in terms of nutrition. These fruits are harvested while in-season and immediately flash-frozen, providing in-season nutrition!
