Interesting recipe. Will certainly test it out for. Though I am just a little scared of attempting French desserts…they are generally so delicate and there is such high expectation to create them come out just correct….

24 mugs milk” doesn’t seem best keto strawberry shortcake. 1L (Liter) is approximately 4 mugs or 1 quart.
24 cups of milk is add up to 1 1/2 gallons or approximately 6 liters. 6 L seems like too big a quantity. Is the quantity supposed to be 6L of dairy or 1L? Is it supposed to be 24oz of milk?
You’re right, there is an enormous problem with the quantities! It’s 1L or 4 cups. Thanks for directing it out
extremely tempting dessert and very, very delicious, looks great and awsome
Thanks for visiting my kitchen
