Ingredients

  • 5-8 fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese or mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or 2 tablespoons powdered sugar plus more for dusting
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice plus more zest, for garnish
  • 1 (1.9-oz) package mini phyllo (filo) shells
  • small mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • Wash strawberries and remove the top. Then, thinly slice strawberries. I like to quarter and then slice. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the whipped cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, and juice in a medium bowl.
  • Spoon or pipe dollops of the cream cheese mixture into the phyllo shells, then top with sliced strawberries. Add small mint leaves. Freshly grate lemon zest on top to garnish and dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
  • Serve Mini Strawberry Cheesecakes with additional strawberries.
