Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

While the base is cooling, wash and prepare the fresh berries. If using strawberries, hull and slice them.

Assemble
Once the base is completely cool, slice it into squares. Top each square with a generous amount of mixed berries and a dollop of whipped cream.
