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.

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.

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.
GRANDMA'S FROZEN FRUIT CUPS
My grandma passed away quite awhile ago, but this is one thing that really reminds me of her. She would make tons of it and freeze it to have enough all year long. We usually just used old yogurt cups and other random plastic containers with lids to make these in.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC), and prepare two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until fully combined.
- Lightly flour the surface and roll out puff pastry on top to flatten.
- Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 9 equal squares.
- On the top right and bottom left of the pastry, cut an L shape approximately ½ inch (1 cm) from the edge.
- NOTE: This L shape should reach all the way down and across the square, however both L shapes should not meet at the ends. Your pastry should look like a picture frame with two corners still intact.
- Take the upper right corner and fold down towards the inner bottom corner. You will now have a diamond shape.
- Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese filling in the middle, then place berries on top.
- Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and place them onto the parchment covered baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Prep the Fruit: Wash and cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces. If using berries, remove the stems.
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Take the cream cheese out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to blend and mix with the other ingredients.
- Use a Food Processor or Blender: To make the cream cheese mixture smooth and creamy, use a food processor or blender. This will also help to evenly distribute the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- Layer the Ingredients: Start by adding a layer of fruit to the bottom of the serving cups. Then, top with a layer of cream cheese mixture. Repeat these layers until you reach the top of the cup.
- Freeze for at Least 2 Hours: Cover the cups tightly with plastic wrap and place them in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or overnight. This will allow the cream cheese mixture to firm up and the fruit to freeze.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the fruit cups with additional fruit, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy them frozen or thawed for a refreshing and delicious treat.
