Patriotic Cheesecake Tarts

Ingredients

  • mini phyllo dough shells
  • 1/3 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1-2 T. powdered sugar
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • fresh fruit to arrange on top

Preparation

Step 1

Bake the phyllo shells as directed on the package. Allow to cool.

Mix the powdered sugar (to taste) with the vanilla and cream cheese. I used about a tablespoon. The sweetness of the fruit adds a lot, so the cheesecake part didn't need to be super sweet for me - but then I don't eat many sweets.

Wash and prepare your fruit.

When the shells are cool, fill them up! I put the cheesecake filling into a small sandwich bag and cut off the corner, then piped it into the shells.

Top with fruit.

Chill until it's time to serve.
