Ingredients
  

Mini phyllo tart shells
  • 24 mini phyllo tart shells
Cream cheese filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.25 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
Peach topping
  • 3 peaches peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp peach jam or apricot jam warmed
  • 1 fresh mint for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Make the filling
  1. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth and fluffy, using steady medium speed for a thick, pipeable texture.
Assemble the tarts
  1. Transfer the cream cheese filling to a piping bag or zip-lock bag with the corner snipped, then pipe a generous swirl into each cooled mini phyllo tart shell.
  2. Top each tart with a thin peach slice or a fan of slices so the fruit covers the filling without sinking into it.
  3. Brush warm peach jam lightly over the peach slices to glaze, so the topping looks glossy and jewel-like.
  4. Garnish each tart with fresh mint for brightness right before chilling.
Chill and serve
  1. Refrigerate the assembled mini tarts until ready to serve, keeping them chilled for 30 minutes so the cream cheese filling sets.
  2. Serve within 2 hours of assembly for the best texture, when the phyllo shells stay crisp.

Notes

For clean, crisp mini tarts, keep the shells dry and refrigerate only after topping and mint garnish. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; freezer is not recommended because the peach and phyllo texture will soften. Dietary swap: use reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter filling while keeping the same assembly steps.
