I've made this recipe by toasting the bread on a grill at cookouts, but any way I serve it, I never have any leftovers. The bruschetta is sweet instead of savory as is often expected, and visitors enjoy that change. -Patricia Nieh of Portola Valley, California

Ingredients:
• 10 slices French bread (1/2 inch thick)
• Cooking spray
• 5 teaspoons sugar, divided
• 6 ounces fat-free cream cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 3/4 cup fresh blackberries
• 3/4 cup fresh raspberries
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
• 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar

Directions:
1. Place bread on an ungreased baking sheet; lightly coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned.

2. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, extract and remaining sugar. Spread over toasted bread. Top with berries and almonds; dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.
