Super good desert. I've loved this desert since I worked at a fancy restaurant as a waitress putting these together. I've been trying to get the recipe right for the filling for quite sometime and I've finally got it! Enjoy!!!!

- For larger desserts spoon a heaping tablespoon of filling onto bottom pastry, then add about a teaspoon off strawberries.
- Top with top pastry and finish off with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of confectionary sugar. (very chic!).

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!Reply
