This is such an easy dessert if you have fresh berries and are craving a sweet treat. To make for a picnic, bake in muffin tins with a paper liner. They transport well in the muffin tins.
This recipe calls for vanilla, but if you happen to have almond extract, try substitutiting it for the vanilla. Just be sure to only use 1/2 tsp, as the almond flavor is quite strong!
Enjoy this on a sweet early summer afternoon!
