1/2 of an 8-ounce container fat-free or reduced-fat frozen whipped dessert topping, thawed
1 8-ounce carton strawberry low-fat yogurt
1/2 of an 8-ounce package reduced-fat cream cheese, softened

Serve immediately or cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour. Before serving, garnish with reserved whipped topping and, if desired, whole strawberry. Sprinkle with almonds.
