2/3 cup crushed graham crackers
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted (or Smart Balance)
8 ounces tub-style reduced-fat cream cheese
8 ounces nonfat cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup light sour cream
1 cup light whipped topping, thawed
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup blueberries
6 medium strawberries, stemmed and halved
Line 12 muffin cups with cupcake liners. Lightly spray the liners with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar and butter. Press 1 rounded tablespoon into the bottom of each muffin cup. Place in the refrigerator to chill.
In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer on low speed, beat the cream cheeses, powdered sugar and sour cream until smooth. Beat in 1/2 cup of whipped topping and the almond extract. Fold in the remaining topping.
Spoon the cheesecake filling into the crusts and smooth the tops. Place a strawberry half in the center of each cheesecake and arrange the blueberries around the strawberry. Place cheesecakes in the refrigerator and chill until set, at least 2 hours.
