Ingredients
– 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup fresh raspberries
– 1 package (1.5 oz) phyllo dough cups (store-bought)
– Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowl
– Hand mixer or whisk
– Spoon or spatula
– Muffin tin or baking sheet (for phyllo cups)
– Oven
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, grab a mixing bowl and combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend everything until it’s smooth and creamy. The texture should be rich and velvety, which makes the filling so luscious! I love taking a moment to appreciate how sweet and fragrant the mixture becomes as you blend it. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
