Lemon, cream cheese, and berries make for a delicious dessert trio, and we combine all three in this easy recipe that offers a fun take on cheesecake with a crisp phyllo shell. And we made these bite-sized so you can satisfy your sweet tooth without overdoing it. The filling combines rich, creamy Greek yogurt with 1/3-less-fat cream cheese to lighten it without losing its lusciousness. For an extra-special touch, melt strawberry jelly and brush over strawberries to glaze. While we opted for strawberries, you can use whatever berries are in season. Raspberries, blackberries and blueberries are all tasty choices, or mix and match them.
