Ingredients
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lime zest (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Assembly
- 2 (2.1 oz each) packages frozen mini phyllo cups
- 30 fresh raspberries and blackberries (mixed)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of lime zest, and fresh lime juice. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, mix until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Assemble the tarts: Spoon approximately one teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into each mini phyllo cup. Carefully top each filled cup with a fresh raspberry or blackberry, then sprinkle the remaining lime zest over the tarts for a bright, citrusy finish.
Notes
- Allow the cream cheese to soften completely at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- These tarts are best served immediately to keep the phyllo cups crisp, but can be chilled for up to 2 hours if needed.
- Feel free to substitute blackberries or raspberries with other fresh berries like blueberries or strawberries.
- Use fresh lime zest and juice for best flavor; bottled lime juice will alter the freshness of the tarts.
