Sunday afternoon our church hosted it's annual Ladies' Tea. I volunteered to bring something along before I knew I would gone the whole day prior. I went shopping with a few friends in the city; we left my house at 6:30 am and arrived back at my house at 2 am! To say I was exhausted would be an understatement.
When Sunday rolled around, I knew I couldn't make the cookies I had planned, and I was going to need something super easy with ingredients I had on hand. On the spot I came up with this dessert, and it ended up being a huge hit!
This post is linked to:Strawberry Cheesecake BitesPhyllo Shells (this isn't something I normally
have, but during a recent sale I picked some up for Christmas appetizers.)8 oz cream cheese; softened1 cup powdered sugarFrozen Strawberries; thawed
In a mixer, cream together the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Spoon in the strawberries to the desired flavor. I didn't measure mine, but if I were to guess, I would say I used probably ¼ cup. Once mixed together completely, spoon or pipe into Phyllo Shells.
For an added touch, garnish with a sliced strawberry.
Makes 30.

Isn't that the way it always works -to tired to cook. But the cheescakes look delicious.

I love just about anything with cream cheese in it. These sound fabulous!
I hope you'll link up at my Christmas Recipe event on Thursday!
Sounds like you improvised rather nicely!! Good recovery. Glad you were able to have a fun "girls shopping day" as well. Thanks for sharing the recipe and linking to TMTT.
My mother and I have a theory that anything made with cream cheese is good--and this looks so quick and easy. I bet I could do this with crescent roll dough, too. Flaky pastry, cream cheese, sugar, and strawberries, ummmm!
Those look yummy! I haven't had Phyllo Shells in ages, love them. Thanks for sharing!

Quick (and good) thinking on your part. I keep frozen phyllo on hand. It's amazing the uses I find for it. I would love for you to come post these on Merry Merry Munchies. There's a giveaway. I also host Croco Pot Wednesday each week. You are welcome to join in with that.
I'm quite impressed that you just came up with these...how creative!! They sound absolutely delicious!!
These would be so easy to adapt to sugar free, gluten free - and in my book adding fruit is so much healthier. You gotta' get it where you can! Thanks for linking up!
Wow! These look SO yummy!! I might have to find some phyllo shells!!

Ohhh I love phyllo! It's so versatile b/c you can fill it with sweet or savoury bites. I am going to have to try these out sometime~!
