Time 20m

Yield 15 bites

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

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.

These cheesecake bites were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

I loved the peppermint bark on top of these cheesecake bites. It added a festive touch and a burst of flavor.

These cheesecake bites were a nice treat, but they were a bit too rich for my taste. I would probably make them again, but I would use a lower-fat cream cheese.

These cheesecake bites are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them a day ahead and they were still delicious.

The cheesecake bites were a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I wouldn't make them again.

I had some trouble getting the crust to set properly, but the filling was delicious. I'll try again soon and see if I can get it right.

The cheesecake bites were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time I make them.

These cheesecake bites were scrumptious! I made them for a Christmas party and everyone raved about them. They have a rich, creamy filling and a buttery graham cracker crust. My favorite part was the peppermint bark on top - it added a festive touch
