Ingredients

• 8 sheets Phyllo dough
• 100 grams Low-fat cream cheese
• 300 grams Mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together low-fat cream cheese, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the mixed berries with cornstarch and gently toss to coat the berries. This helps to thicken the fruit juices during baking.

Step 4

Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place another sheet on top and spray again. Repeat with the remaining sheets to form a stack.

Step 5

Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 8 equal rectangles using a sharp knife.

Step 6

Place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on the center of each rectangle, followed by a spoonful of the mixed berries.

Step 7

Fold one corner of each rectangle over the filling to form a triangle, pressing down the edges firmly to seal.

Step 8

Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray the tops lightly with more non-stick cooking spray.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Let the pastries cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
