Strawberries & Almond Cream

A recent dessert offered during our Strawberry Afternoon Tea included fresh berries piped with almond cream. This yummy cream filling is delicious and decorative piped into the berry, or simply served over top of sliced berries. Enjoy the bounty of fresh summer berries with this special almond cream topping.

1 - 3-1/2 oz. box instant vanilla pudding and pie filling

1 c. milk

1 c. heavy cream, whipped

1 tsp. almond extract

2 pints large strawberries, washed, hulled, halved OR, 

wash, remove the hull by slicing the berries so they sit flat, make a cross cut into the pointy end of the berries, but don't cut all the way thru. Gently pry the berries open and pipe the filling into the berry.

Prepare instant pudding as package directs but decrease milk to 1 c. only. Gently fold whipped cream and almond extract into prepared pudding. Served with prepared strawberries
