  1              small  packag  vanilla instant pudding mix -- (3.4 ounce)
  1                cup  milk
  1                cup  whipping cream -- whipped
     3/4      teaspoon  almond extract
  2              pints  large strawberries -- stemmed

Preparation:

Mix together pudding mix and milk. Let set up for a few minutes. Fold in the whipped cream and almond extract into the pudding mixture. Cut a deep "X" in the pointed end of each berry. Carefully spread apart cut berries to form four connected sections. Place the cream mixture into a pastry bag with a star or other decorative tip. Fill the center of each split berry with the cream mixture. (Mixture can also be spooned into strawberry instead of using a pastry bag.) Refrigerate until ready to serve.
