Ingredients:
8 sheet phyllo dough, refrigerated preferred over frozen
1 serving cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving)
6 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp sugar
3 oz neufchatel cheese, softened
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 1/2 tsp orange zest, freshly grated
3/4 cup lite whipped topping
4 cups strawberries, thinly sliced, about 1/4-inch thick

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a cookie sheet, coat with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar; repeat with remaining layers of phyllo, cooking spray and sugar. Cut the stacked dough lengthwise into 3 strips and prick all over with a fork. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden; remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a mixer, beat the cheese until fluffy. Add remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, sour cream and zest, and continue to beat until light and airy; fold in the whipped topping.

Carefully place one phyllo strip on a serving dish and spread with half the cheese mixture; top with half the strawberries. Repeat with the second phyllo strip and remaining cheese and berries. Top with the third phyllo strip, slice into 12 pieces and serve.
