Yield: 12 Servings

25 20 45

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg white
1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
FILLING:
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons 2% milk
4 cups halved fresh strawberries
GLAZE:
1/4 cup seedless strawberry jam
1 tablespoon crystallized ginger, finely chopped

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg white and ginger. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. tart pan.
Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Sprinkle with chips. Bake 4-5 minutes longer or until chocolate is melted; spread over crust. Cool on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth; spread over chocolate. Top with strawberries. In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave jam in 10-second intervals until melted; brush over strawberries. Sprinkle with ginger. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Yield: 12 servings.
