Blueberry Cheesecake Filo Cups Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Combine the blueberries, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the berries start to break down and the liquid becomes syrupy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Whisk together the mascarpone, powdered sugar and lemon zest and juice in a medium bowl.
• Spoon or pipe dollops of the mascarpone mixture into the phyllo shells, leaving room for the blueberry compote, then top with the blueberry compote. Freshly grate lemon zest on top to garnish and dust with powdered sugar just before serving.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl cream softened cream cheese until smooth.
• Blend in sugar in small amounts until well creamed together.
• Add sour cream and blend well.
• Chill for a couple of hours.
• Spoon into zip-lock bags or pastry bag (I did this before chilling, that way it is ready to go.).
• If using a zip-lock bag, cut corner off and squeeze into pre-made Phyllo cups.
• Top with fresh fruit or fruit sauce.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl with an electric hand mixer or in a stand mixer afixed with the paddle attachment, beat together the brown sugar, sour cream, and vanilla on medium speed until smooth, about one minute.
• Add the cream cheese and lemon zest and continue beating until smooth, about one more minute.
• Add the heavy whipping cream and beat for about one more minute until slightly fluffy and smooth.
• Fill mini tart shells with cream cheese filling. You can spoon in the filling, or place the filling in a freezer bag, snip off the end, and pipe it in.
• Top each tart with three blueberries. Serve.
