You’ll love the contrasting textures of delicate, crunchy pastry and velvety filling here. Fillo (also filo or phyllo) pastry dough is made from parchment-thin sheets of dough that have been brushed with butter before stacking in multiple layers, which yields fine leafy layers of crisp pastry when baked. This type of pastry is used in both sweet and savory recipes, such as traditional Greek baklava and spanakopita. It is available in boxes in the freezer case of most supermarkets. You can swap the blackberries for blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries—whatever is fresh and ripe at the market.

Ingredients

Fillo dough

15 sheet(s), shells

Reduced fat whipped cream cheese

4 oz

Sugar

1 Tbsp, granulated

Fat free vanilla yogurt

3 Tbsp

Lemon zest

¾ tsp, freshly grated

Blackberries

1 cup(s)

Sliced almonds

1½ Tbsp

Powdered sugar (confectioner's)

1 tsp, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place fillo shells on a baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes.
  2. While shells cook, beat cream cheese in a small bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed. Add granulated sugar, yogurt, lemon zest and cinnamon; beat at medium speed until combined.
  3. Fill fillo shells evenly with cream cheese mixture; divide blackberries and almonds over top. Dust with powdered sugar; serve immediately. Yields 1 tart per serving.
