Ingredients
- One 1.9-ounce package frozen phyllo shells (15 shells)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cherry preserves
- 15 fresh raspberries
- 15 fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the phyllo cups on a baking sheet and bake for 3 minutes; they are already baked, but this will give them a light crisp. Set aside and cool for 5 minutes.
- Add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, orange zest and vanilla to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and whip together until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag and set aside. Snip a small opening in the tip of the bag with a pair of scissors just before you are ready to fill the cups. No piping top needed.
- Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of the cherry preserves into the bottom of each phyllo cup. Pipe a swirl of the cream cheese mixture into each cup, completely covering the preserves. Top each with a single raspberry and a mint leaf. Transfer them to a serving platter and give them a light dusting of powdered sugar.

I always glaze my berries with melted current jelly…..makes them pop instead of looking dull.
These were so easy to make and they were a total hit!
How many days in advance can you make these and keep in the fridge?
FABULOUS! You cannot go wrong with these little bites of heaven. Super simple and fail-proof. I use different fillings to mix it up. Just do it!
