Because the berries sit in coconut water and ice, it's best to eat this dish when made. The berries will become soggy and mushy if they sit in the coconut water for a long period of time.
If you do need to store, make sure to store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Note that the berries textures may change!
These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing. The texture of the berries will change!

I had a fun time making this with my kids. We really loved the fresh berries. I will totally be making this in the summer when berries are a little more accessible but we needed the fun treat during this dreary months.
