Strawberry Tea Sandwiches

1 (8 ounce) package 1/3 less fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), at room temperature
1/3 cup NESTLÉ NESQUIK Strawberry Flavor Powder
1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel (optional)
3- to 4-inch round biscuit cutter or other fun cookie cutters
16 thin slices whole-wheat or white bread
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

Combine cream cheese and Nesquik in bowl; stir until Nesquik is dissolved. Stir in orange peel.

Using a biscuit cutter, cut each piece of bread into circles; discard excess. Spread about 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture over half of the bread circles. Place about 4 slices strawberries on top of cream cheese mixture; top with remaining bread circles.

VARIATION: Use 1/2 cup peeled, thinly sliced cucumber in place of strawberries. Fresh mint leaves are also a great addition to both strawberry and cucumber sandwiches.
