Ingredients

1 cup fresh blueberries

1/4 cup granulated sugar 

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

2 tablespoons powdered sugar, plus more for dusting

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus more zest, for garnish

One 1.9-ounce package mini phyllo (filo) shells 

Directions

  1. Combine the blueberries, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the berries start to break down and the liquid becomes syrupy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, 25 to 30 minutes.
  2. Whisk together the mascarpone, powdered sugar and lemon zest and juice in a medium bowl.
  3. Spoon or pipe dollops of the mascarpone mixture into the phyllo shells, leaving room for the blueberry compote, then top with the blueberry compote. Freshly grate lemon zest on top to garnish and dust with powdered sugar just before serving.

Yum! I was worried the two of us would gulp these down in a few minutes but they are surprisingly rich. We had to rest between bites. I used frozen blueberries (defrosted on the counter for 10 min) and they still turned out fantastic. Super easy!
