  2. Gently stir in 2 cups of frozen strawberries until completely thawed.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries, sliced (optional, for added texture and visual appeal). Stir to combine.
  4. Pour half of the strawberry mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
  5. Once the first layer is firm, spread 1 cup of sour cream evenly over the top.
