Awhile back our local grocery store had blackberries on sale, so I tried to make a blackberry meringue pie. Unfortunately it didn’t turn out at all the way I was hoping it would. Since then I’ve really had the taste for something with blackberries in it. So when we hosted our next party, I decided to try again. This time I went with the mini fillo shells because they are perfect for parties and I’ve really enjoyed coming up with fillings for them. These are a little bit of work, you’ve really got to watch the pot once it starts boiling because it get thick fast. In the directions it says you can spoon the filling into the cups. Well, you can also put the filling in a frosting bag with a wide tip and pipe it into the cups. The Man helped with this part and I think he kinda had fun with it. The only problem with this method is that the filling is a little runny, so it’ll work but you’ll have to move quickly from one cup to the next. We problem would have been able to fill a few more cups if it wasn’t for the filling that dripped out between cups.
Ingredients
30 mini fillo cups
5 oz fat free cream cheese
3/4 cups frozen blackberries, thawed (with juice)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions
Arrange the fillo cups on a cookie sheet or plate.
Whisk the cornstarch into the water. In a small pot, whisk together the cream cheese, blackberries with juice, sugar, and cornstarch water. Slowly bring it to a boil, stirring constantly. Afterr it starts boiling it will get very thick very fast. When it’s about the same thickness as a pudding, take it off the heat. Spoon it into the mini cups and let them cool. The cream will thicken as it cools.
