Blueberry Cheesecake Mini Tarts
These easy Blueberry Cheesecake Mini Tarts are a sweet and tasty treat that comes together quickly in about 20 minutes (including cook time)! I love the combination of the crispy, flaky phyllo shells and the rich, creamy blueberry cheesecake filling. Not only did I love these (fruity cheesecake is my favorite dessert), but my 2-year-old daughter wouldn’t put hers down! Next time I make them I think I’ll let her help, because she loves cooking with mommy and this recipe is so simple. Not only are these mini tarts the perfect sweet bite after dinner, they’re also just really pretty. I topped my Blueberry Cheesecake Mini Tarts with a tiny spritz of light whipped cream topping and a fresh blueberry. You don’t have to do this, but it’s beautiful and it tastes amazing. These tartlets make a perfect dessert or snack and will be great to serve guests when we’re able to have them again! Each tasty Blueberry Cheesecake Mini Tart is just 31 calories or 2 WW Points!

I mentioned this below as well, but filled phyllo shells don’t stay crispy when stored in the fridge for an extended period of time, so if you’re not planning to serve these all right away, I’d suggest making the blueberry cheesecake filling and then filling and baking only the number of shells you plan to eat at that time. Then stick the rest of the filling in the fridge and the rest of the phyllo shells back in the freezer to fill and bake over the next few days as desired.
In case you’re wondering, I haven’t yet tried this recipe using other berries like strawberries or raspberries, but I definitely plan to and I assume they will be equally delicious. If you try it before I do, post in the comments below and let me know how you liked it!

Blueberry Cheesecake Mini Tarts
Ingredients
- 1 package of 15 mini phyllo shells, such as Athens, found in the frozen aisles
- ¼ cup blueberries, optional: plus more for topping
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 large egg white
- 1.5 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the phyllo shells on the lined pan.
- Place the blueberries in a dish and microwave them on high for 20-30 seconds until warm. Transfer them to the bowl of a food processor. Add the sugar, egg white, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Turn on the food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Pour/spoon the blueberry cheesecake filling evenly into the phyllo shells. Place the sheet pan into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes and then refrigerate for 10 minutes to chill. Serve immediately*.

Do you think you could use frozen blueberries?
We used frozen and they turned out great!
Can you freeze filled shells?
I’m wondering this as well. Or can the filling be frozen separately until needed again?
These look amazing! My blueberry-loving 4-year-old is going to flip over these! Is there a reason you opted to use real sugar rather than Stevia?
