Ingredients

• 8 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
• 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 4 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries, 1 tablespoon of honey, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Mix gently until the blueberries are well-coated.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Place a single sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean work surface. Lightly brush with a little almond milk using a pastry brush. Repeat with 7 more sheets, stacking them one on top of the other.

Step 5

Cut the layered phyllo sheets into six equal rectangles.

Step 6

On each rectangle, spread a generous tablespoon of the yogurt cream cheese mixture, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Spoon some blueberry mixture onto the center of the yogurt spread on each rectangle.

Step 8

Fold up the edges of the pastries slightly to create a border and keep the filling in place.

Step 9

Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 12

Before serving, dust with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
