Steps:
- 1. Add to the room temp cream cheese, the juice of 1 whole lemon and 1 can of sweetened condensed milk. Beat until no lumps and creamy and airy.
- 2. Baked the phyllo shells, approximately 4-5 mins. Allow to cool then fill with the mixture above.
- 3. Top all the shells with any fruit mixture you choose. I used what fruit I had on hand but fruit in season would be great as well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:
- For the tarts: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured work surface, lay out the puff pastry. Cut the puff pastry sheets in half, making 4 rectangles. Place 2 puff pastry rectangles on each sheet pan. Set aside.
- Add the blueberries and strawberries to separate bowls. Divide the granulated sugar and lemon juice between the bowls. Season each with a pinch of salt and stir until well combined.
- Divide the blueberries between 2 of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving a 1/4-inch border on all sides. Do the same with the strawberries and the remaining puff pastry rectangles. Pinch the corners of each rectangle, creating a slight lip. Brush the edges with the cream.
- Bake in the lower half of the oven until golden and crisp, about 20 minutes.
- For the whipped cream: While the tarts bake, add the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip until soft and billowy. Transfer to a serving bowl and chill until ready to serve.

MINI CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY PHYLLO TARTS
Delicate layers of golden phyllo turn a raspberry brownie-like filling into a dessert special enough for a dinner party. Using store-bought phyllo sheets and an easy brownie batter means these treats come together quickly. I love the pop of color a garnish of fresh raspberries gives, but a small scoop of vanilla ice cream would be just as fantastic.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the pastry shells: Use a pastry brush to brush one sheet of phyllo with melted butter. Top with another sheet and brush with butter and repeat for a total of 4 layers. Top with the remaining sheet of phyllo but do not brush the top with butter.
- Use the remaining melted butter to brush the insides of 6 cups of a standard 12-cup muffin pan, leaving every other cup empty.
- Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the stack of phyllo sheets into 6 squares, each about 4-by-4 inches. Ease each square into a buttered muffin cup, pressing gently to line the cup and allowing the edges to fold in. Refrigerate while you make the batter.
- For the batter: Microwave the chocolate chips and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth, about 60 seconds. Whisk in the sugar, vanilla and salt. Whisk in the egg until smooth, then whisk the mixture vigorously for 20 seconds. Whisk in the almond flour until combined.
- Divide the batter between the phyllo-lined cups. Place a heaping teaspoon of jam in the center of each cup and swirl with a toothpick. Bake until a clean toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs, 34 to 38 minutes.
- Cool the tarts in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Dust each tart with powdered sugar and top with a few fresh raspberries before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place a sheet of phyllo on a flat surface such as a cutting board; spray lightly with spray and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sugar. Cover with another sheet of phyllo. Repeat three times, finishing with spray and sugar. Using a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife, cut the phyllo into 3-inch squares. Place each square in a cup on a muffin tin, pressing in gently and fanning phyllo layers so corners don't overlap. Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until golden. Whip yogurt in a small bowl. Fold in Neufchâtel and vanilla (and liquor, if desired). Cover and refrigerate 10 minutes. After cups have cooled, remove them from muffin tin. Add 1 tbsp yogurt mixture to each cup. Top with fruit and serve. (You can also mix fruit directly into yogurt mixture.)
Tips:
- To make the phyllo dough easier to work with, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- When rolling out the phyllo dough, use a light touch to avoid tearing it.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a can of soup to roll out the dough.
- To prevent the phyllo dough from drying out, cover it with a damp towel or plastic wrap while you're working with it.
- Be careful not to overfill the tart shells, or they will become soggy.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a muffin tin or even a ramekin.
- To make the tarts ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe instructions and then let them cool completely. Store the tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
These easy phyllo fruit tarts are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They are delicious, beautiful, and easy to make. With a little bit of planning, you can even make them ahead of time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give these tarts a try. You won't be disappointed.
