Ingredients
½cuplight cream cheese spread
⅓cupfat-free cream cheese(I used reduced fat cream cheese)
3tablespoonsgranulated no-calorie sweetener (or 4 packets) (I used 4 packets of Truvia)
⅛teaspoonlemon zest
2dropsalmond extract(or vanilla)
½cuplight whipped topping, thawed
12largewhole strawberries, washed
2graham cracker squares, finely crushed
Instructions
Gather and prepare all ingredients. Sprinkle ¾ the graham cracker crumbs over a small serving platter and set aside.
In a small bowl with a spoon, mix the cream cheeses, sweetener, lemon zest and almond extract until thoroughly combined and smooth. Add the light whipped topping and stir to combine.
Add the mixture to a pastry piping bag with a piping tip or add the cream cheese mixture to Ziplock baggie and cut a small hole in one of the corners. If you don't want to use a piping bag or plastic baggie, you can leave the cream cheese mixture in the mixing bowl and use a small spoon to fill the strawberries (which is what I did and why they aren't as pretty as they could be).
Carefully remove the stems and hulls from the strawberries using a small sharp knife. Using either the piping bag method or a small spoon, carefully fill each strawberry with about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture and then set filled strawberries on the prepared serving platter.
Sprinkle the remaining graham cracker crumbs over the strawberries and serve.
Store any leftover strawberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
