Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 package mini phyllo cups (15 cups)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crushed pineapple, chopped dried cranberries, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and evenly blended.
  2. Spoon the creamy filling into each mini phyllo cup, filling them generously to the top.
  3. Arrange the filled cups neatly on a serving platter and optionally top each with a fresh mint leaf for a bright, fresh pop of color.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to firm slightly.
  5. Serve cold and watch these little tropical gems vanish at your next gathering!

Notes

  1. Be sure to drain the pineapple well excess juice can make the cream cheese mixture runny and soften the crisp phyllo cups.
  2. Mini phyllo cups can be found in the freezer section; thaw them fully before filling to maintain their delicate crunch.
  3. These cups are best enjoyed the same day they’re assembled to preserve the crispness of the shells.
