Can I Make This In Advance
You can make the dessert a day in advance, but the thing is I wouldn’t do more than 24 hours. You will find that the fruit will begin to break down. The whipped cream will break down as the fruit juice releases as well.
I tend to prefer to make around 12 hours in advance.
