   1/2 c  Chocolate chips
     1 tb Unsalted butter

 and almond extract; blend well. Fold in whipping cream. Gently pour
 into pre-baked pie crust. Arrange strawberries, carefully over the
 filling. Chill. TOPPING Melt chocolate chips and unsalted butter in a
 small pan over low heat (or in a double boiler for worry free
 melting). Stir continuously, until smooth. Drizzle over strawberries.

 VARIATION You can dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate and
 then place them on the pie. You need to work quickly and will need to
 double (at least) the chocolate/butter mixture.
