Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 c finely chopped almonds, toasted
6 Tbsp butter, melted
1/3 c baking cocoa
1/4 c packed brown sugar
FILLING:
2 pkg (8 oz.ea.) cream cheese, softened
1 c confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 c halved fresh strawberries
3 Tbsp hot fudge ice cream topping

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, combine first five ingredients; press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 12-15 minutes or until crust is set. Cool on a wire rack.
  • 2. In another small bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over bottom of the prepared crust. Arrange strawberry halves, cut side down, over filling. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • 3. Just before serving, drizzle fudge topping over tart. Refrigerate leftovers.
  • 4. Leftovers?? I don't think so!
