Raspberry Cream Cheese Phyllo Tarts

A beautiful, bakery-style pastry designed for moms. Flaky layers made with rich Ontario butter create a golden, tender base, while a creamy dairy filling or topping adds softness and indulgence. Styled elegantly with fresh fruit or a light glaze, this recipe is the kind of homemade gesture that makes mother figures feel celebrated.

Instructions

Prepare the Pastry

  1. Step
    Remove the filo pastry from the fridge and let it come to room temperature in its packaging to prevent tearing.

Preheat Oven

  1. Step
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Layer the Filo

  1. Step
    Place one sheet of filo pastry on your work surface. Lightly brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Top with another sheet and repeat.

Shape the Tarts

  1. Step
    Gently scrunch the layered pastry lengthwise into a loose accordion shape. Coil into a spiral to form a round tart base, pressing the centre slightly to make space for filling. Transfer to the prepared tray. Repeat with remaining pastry.

Make the Filling

  1. Step
    In a bowl, mix the cream cheese until smooth. Add icing sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir until creamy and well combined.

Assemble

  1. Step
    Spoon about 2 tbsp (30 mL) of filling into the centre of each tart. Top with fresh raspberries.

Bake

  1. Step
    Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and golden.

Finish and Serve

  1. Step
    Allow tarts to cool slightly, then dust with icing sugar before serving.
