Notes
Sugar substitute: You may also use swerveor monkfruit for a low carb/keto friendly version.
Lime juice: You can add an additional 2 teaspoons of lime juice without it altering the filling if you prefer more lime flavor.
I used a metal teaspoon to hollow out the large berries and a metal 1/2 teaspoon to hollow out the small berries. To see a step -by-step tutorial on how to hollow out and fill the berries click here.
You can place the stuffed berries in the freezer for a few minutes to help the filling set so if they tip over it doesn't ruin the appearance.
