Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
12 sheets low fat graham crackers
2 T sugar
4 T low-fat butter, melted
5 tsp water
Cream Cheese Filling
8 oz. package cream cheese
3/4 C powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
Strawberry Topping
3 C strawberries, sliced
2 T granulated sugar
Sliced almonds for decoration
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. To prepare your crust, put crackers in a food processor and pulse until crumbly. Add water, butter and sugar and blend until moist. Press the mixture into a 9-inch round removable-bottom tart pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Bake the crust at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack.
To prepare the filling, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract in a small bowl until creamy.
Slice your strawberries thinly and toss with the granulated sugar.
Once the crust is cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the crust. Place the strawberries on top of the cream cheese mixture and sprinkle sliced almonds on top of the strawberries. To make it more decorative you can also place almonds around the rim of the crust.
