Preparation time: 15 minutes
Freezing time: 1 hour
Standing time: 5-10 minutes

1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
Artificial sweetener (optional)
4 teaspoons Amaretto
1 container (8 ounces) nonfat, artificially sweetened strawberry yogurt
4 ounces (half an 8-ounce container) frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
9 individual serving, ready-to-eat mini graham cracker pie crusts
5 small strawberries
Sweeten chopped strawberries with artificial sweetener, if desired. Drizzle Amaretto over berries and toss to coat. Stir in yogurt then whipped topping. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the mixture into each pie crust, until they are nearly full. Slice remaining strawberries in half lengthwise and garnish each tart with half a strawberry. Place the tarts on a tray and freeze them uncovered for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Transfer to an airtight container and keep tarts in freezer until serving time. Remove from freezer 5–10 minutes before serving.
