For the strawberries:For the fruit salad:Combine the strawberries, sugar, and triple sec in a medium bowl. Allow the strawberries to macerate for at least two hours or overnight in the fridge. This will soften the berries and amplify their flavor, making the texture and taste perfect when frozen.

When the strawberries are ready, you can start on the salad. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar at medium speed for one to two minutes until soft peaks form. Scrape the whipped cream into a separate bowl.Whip the softened cream cheese in the bowl of the stand mixer until light and fluffy, about three minutes. Then add the whipped cream to it and mix until combined.

Drain the macerated strawberries, reserving the liquid for another use. Add the drained strawberries, mini marshmallows, and pistachios to the cream mixture, and fold gently with a rubber spatula to combine.

Pour the fruit salad into whatever mold you prefer—a cake pan, loaf pan, individual bowls, or silicone molds—and freeze for at least eight hours, or ideally overnight, before serving.When dealing with a popcorn gremlin, it is important to understand the variety of tactics they will use to convince you to give them your popcorn.
