Easy Phyllo Cups with Fruit
Description
This recipe uses pre-made mini phyllo cups arranged on a plate as a base for a creamy filling made from softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla stirred until smooth and the sugar dissolved. The filling is piped or spooned into each cup before being topped with fresh berries, adding natural sweetness and color contrast.
The phyllo cups provide a crisp, flaky texture that contrasts with the luscious filling and juicy berries. This simple method requires no baking and assembles quickly, making it convenient for gatherings.
The dessert can be varied by mixing in additional flavors like peanut butter or topping the fruit with sauces such as chocolate or caramel. Dusting with powdered sugar before serving can add an elegant touch.
Ingredients
- 1 package phyllo cups mini, frozen
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- raspberry fresh
- strawberry
- blackberry
Instructions
- Remove phyllo cups from packaging and arrange on a plate. Set aside.
- Combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Mix until sugar is dissolved.
- Put mixture into a piping bag with a large tip (or a resealable plastic bag with one corner cut off) and fill phyllo cups.

Notes
- Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture into phyllo cups to evenly fill without breaking the fragile shells.
- Top the cream cheese filling with sliced strawberries and optional chocolate sauce for extra flavor.
- Mix peanut butter into the cream cheese filling and add banana slices on top for a different fruit and nut combination.
- Use diced apples and drizzle caramel sauce over the fruit for a fall-inspired variation.
- Dust fresh fruit with powdered sugar just before serving to add subtle sweetness and presentation appeal.
