These speedy mini cheesecake bites are like a burst of sunshine (if sunshine also provided good-for-the-gut probiotics). A food processor turns cottage cheese into a silky filling, while a touch of sugar balances the tang of fresh lemon juice.
Ingredients
Mini phyllo shells
15 item(s)
Fat free cottage cheese
⅔ cup(s)
Plain lowfat cultured kefir
1 Tbsp
Powdered sugar (confectioner's)
⅓ cup(s)
Lemon zest
1 tsp, plus more for garnish
Fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp
Fat free whipped topping
5 Tbsp
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the phyllo shells on a small baking sheet. Bake the shells until toasted around the edges, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
2
In a mini food processor, pulse the cottage cheese and kefir until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the sugar and lemon zest and juice and process until well combined. Divide the filling among the phyllo shells, about 2 tsp per shell. Top each with 1 tsp whipped topping. Garnish with additional lemon zest.
