Fruit Torte

This torte may be used as a dip for your favorite crackers,
or as a topping for bread or muffins.

8 ounces low-fat cream cheese

Fresh berries

Granola

Divide the cream cheese into even thirds. Soften cream cheese sections individually in the microwave. Spread one section of the softened cheese in the bottom of a well-greased loaf pan. Layer ⅓ of the fresh berries over the cream cheese and sprinkle with ⅓ of the granola. Repeat the cream cheese, berries, and granola layers. Spread a final layer of cream cheese over the second layer of granola. Reserve the remaining berries and granola. Chill the filled loaf pan, covered, for at least one hour or until cream cheese is firm. Loosen the edges of cream cheese with a knife or spatula and invert onto a serving plate. Garnish the top and edges of the torte with the reserved berries and granola. Serve cold.
