| Libby Walp was a winner in one of our recipe contests for this delightful dessert. She fell in love with the refreshing taste of Limoncello while studying in Europe. Libby says, ”The light touch of Limoncello is a counter balance to the sweetness of the strawberries, and the almond-flavored whipped cream is the perfect finish.” The result is an elegant dessert topped with Almond Crème that one can't help but eat slowly, enjoying every delicious mouthful. |
