Cheesecake morsels are just enough for a tasty dessert or snack!
Ingredients:


1 (8 oz.) package fat free cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup powdered sugar

2 tsp lemon juice

44 medium strawberries, whole

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Directions:

In a small mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy, set aside.

Using a paring knife, hollow out the top of each strawberry to a depth of approximately 3/4 an inch. Gently fill each with cream cheese mixture using a pastry bag just slightly above the tops. Place them on a cookie sheet(s) as you do this.

Once all of the strawberries are filled, dip each top into the graham cracker crumbs and place back onto the cookie sheet(s).

Place the cookie sheet(s) into the refrigerator and leave them for a few hours or over night to completely chill.

Oooh, these sound delicious!* I need to take a dessert to a 4th of July BBQ coming up here soon....I think I'll give these a try! :-)

You could use Splenda and reduce the calories even more.

Thanks Mary, that's* good idea...
