Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 8 graham crackers)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 8 ounces neufchatel cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup strawberries, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 6 individual tart pans with removable bottoms with cooking spray (or one 6-inch springform pan).
- Combine crumbs and butter in a small bowl and, using your fingers, press into the bottom and up the sides of pans.
- Combine sour cream, cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, egg and sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend just until smooth. Pour into the crusts, and place on a baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until firm around the edges, but still slightly loose in the center. Cool completely on a wire rack. Then cover, and chill.
- Before serving, top with strawberries.
