Easy lemon cheesecake cups
These quick mini cheesecake bites look like bursts of sunshine — and they’re packed with probiotics, too. A food processor or blender turns cottage cheese into a silky filling. And a touch of sugar balances the tang of fresh lemon juice.
Ingredients:
15 mini phyllo shells
2/3 cup plain low-fat cultured cottage cheese
1 tablespoon plain low-fat cultured kefir yogurt
1/3 cup powdered (confectioner’s) sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
5 tablespoons fat-free whipped topping
Directions:
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Arrange the phyllo shells on a small baking sheet. Bake the shells until toasted around the edges, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
Step 2
In a mini food processor or blender, pulse the cottage cheese and kefir until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice and process until well combined.
Step 3
Divide the filling among the phyllo shells, about 2 tsp. per shell. Top each with 1 tsp. whipped topping. Garnish with additional lemon zest.
