Fresh Berry Phyllo Tarts


Fourth of July is coming up and for a festive and celebratory dessert try these fresh berry phyllo tarts. They are mini phyllo shells that are filled with a blend of cream cheese and honey, and topped with fresh berries. 
Simple and delicious, these tarts can be made with any berry you like, and if you buy the phyllo shells in advance, you can easily assemble them for a last-minute event. Bonus – this recipe only involves 5 minutes of baking time, which is ideal on a hot day!
