EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For a different look, use whole strawberries and dip the pointed end of each strawberry into melted chocolate so it's half covered. Set stem-end-down on waxed paper-lined tray. Chill until set. Arrange on top of chilled filling.

Instead of drizzling with semisweet chocolate chips, use white vanilla baking chips.

I thought the recipe was excellent! At least four stars in taste and presentation. Hint: chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream and don't use white chocolate.

The taste= 5 stars. Presentation = 2stars. Did not look anything like the picture. I used the white chocolate pieces and they would not "drizzle" The whipping cream never looked whipped. Don't know what I did wrong. Eating it was wonderful however. Just would never serve it to company.

Haven't made this yet but it sounds yummy. I think I may try and substitute lemon for the almond extract. I love the taste of lemon and strawberries together, the two together remind me of summer.

Have made this twice now, huge family hit, incredibly easy. One note: I thought it was better when it had longer to set up in the fridge, the 30 minutes or so recommended really isn't going to get it very firm. But still good loose!
