strawberry-almond tart

i have had this recipe for years and have never made it, until last night. it is easy, lower in fat than other things, and so good. it's great for a warm weather dessert.

2 cups sliced almonds, toasted
3 Tbs sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
*whirl these together in your food processor until finely chopped, but not ground.

1 egg white
*drop this into almond mixture and give it a whirl til mixed together.

spray tart pan with nonstick cooking spray
*press into bottom and sides of a tart pan (round or square works)

2 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 Tbs whipping cream
*melt on high in microwave for 1 minute, then stir together and spread over cooled crust

1 pkg (80z) reduced fat cream cheese
2 Tbs strawberry-flavored syrup (i used strawberry preserves)
*mix these together and spread over top of chocolate layer

3/4 cup strawberry preserves
*spread over cream cheese layer

2 cups fresh strawberries, tops cut off
