Equipment

  • 1 Mixer

Ingredients

  • 1 package mini phyllo pastry shells
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup cool whip
  • cup favorite jam

Instructions

  • Using an electric mixer, mix softened cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add vanilla and sugar and mix to combine. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
  • Fold in cool whip until mixed thoroughly.
  • Fill each mini phyllo cup with approximately one tablespoon of cream cheese filling.
  • Top with your favorite jam or use a variety of flavors. Refrigerate for a minimum of two hours until set. 

Notes

  • Instead of cool whip, you can use freshly whipped heavy cream. Whip cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
  • If you prefer a denser texture, you can freeze the filled cup for a few hours before serving.
  • For a lemony taste, add ¼ teaspoon of finely zested lemon rind (use a microplane to accomplish this). Mix the lemon zest with the cream cheese mix before folding in the cool whip or whipped cream.
  • You can also top off the mini fillo shells with fresh berries like. Blueberries, huckleberries, and fresh strawberries are all great choices!
  • A little lemon juice or lemon zest would add a burst of freshness to this filling.
