The whole day I spent thinking about what I can do with the strawberries in my fridge. Wanted to do something different and by the end of the day while I was picking up my 4 yr old from pre school the whole recipe unfolded in my head. I did not do any search on google to see if such a recipe existed, I just decided to come home and start preparing it. It was an adventure I should say as I started out with it. It was very simple in the end. I had finished my kheer and the best part of the whole thing was tasting it. I was kind of worried if anyone would like it. My daughter who loves strawberries said it was very delicious and my husband was ready to try it. He said it was nice but needed more sugar. I just added more and served my daughter more of the Strawberry Almond Kheer. My entry to Fresh Produce of the Month event hosted by Italian in the U.S and another entry to Paajaka's Sweet Series:Cold Desserts for the month of July.
