These were very good, and not too hard to make. They were a little fussy to eat (except to our little boy, who didn't worry about neatness), but they were nice. The almond flavor was a little too strong for my taste, so next time I'll probably reduce it. I used a mixture of 1 1/4 cups nonfat milk and 1/2 cup half and half to make it a little richer. I also used fresh berries that I'd chopped up and tossed with a small amount of sugar earlier in the day. I skipped the chocolate curls, too, as I dislike chocolate with strawberries. Since I was making this for just three of us, I have a lot of filling leftover--but I bet it'll be good topped with the rest of the berries tomorrow! Thanks for posting, SweetBamaGirl!
