Pie Filling:

1 can sweetened condensed milk, chilled

1/4 t almond extract

1 t vanilla

1/3 c lemon juice

1 c cool whip OR 1/2 cup cream, whipped

Beat everything except the cool whip until it's thick like pudding. Fold in the cool whip. Spread into a cooled pie shell.

1/2 tub glaze

Mix 1 pint sliced strawberried with 1/2 tub of glaze. Drop over filling and add one perfect strawberry in the middle. Refrigerate until served.

Another Topping Option:

2/3 c water

Mix and add to fruit mixture, boil 1 minute:
1 envelope unflavored Knox gelatin
