Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make raspberry fluff ahead of time?
Absolutely. In fact, preparing it the day before serving gives it plenty of time to chill and develop the best texture.
Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes, but thaw and drain them thoroughly first to avoid adding excess moisture.
Can I use sugar-free gelatin?
Yes. Sugar-free gelatin works well, although the finished dessert may be slightly softer.
Why is my fluff runny?
The gelatin was likely still too warm when the whipped topping was added. Always allow it to cool before mixing.
