Fruity

I had the greatest dessert the other day.

Let's play telephone for a minute: I found it on skinnytaste.com, and she found it on point-lessmeals.com and she found it in Taste of Home's "Healthy Meals". Ok, did everyone follow where the recipe came from?!

Wherever it originated, these gals make some seriously good eats!

I took one bite and fell in love. Jon had to take 2 bites, "just to make sure, honey" then he was hooked too.

This super simple fruit tart uses phyllo dough and fresh fruit to make a light, but rich dessert. Mix it up and use whatever seasonal fruit you can find. In fact, I just picked up some sweet Georgia peaches and I have some raspberries in the fridge....

Here's to you and your culinary adventures, friend. Cheers!

Phyllo Fruit Tart

About 180 cal per serving

In a ramekin, melt butter in microwave. Add oil and stir to combine.

Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush with butter mixture. Repeat with remaining sheets.

With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar. Beat well.
