Ingredients

1 packet filo pastry
2 tbsp Nuttelex Spread melted
250 g light cream cheese
1 tbsp lemon rind finely grated
2 tbsp low GI honey
fresh fruit to top(such as cherries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
lemon zest extra

Method

Pre-heat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Prepare a mini-muffin baking tray with a very light brushing of the melted butter substitute.
Work with one sheet of filo pastry at a time, keeping the remainder covered with a damp tea towel.
Unroll the pastry, and using a pair of scissors, cut pastry into 5cm squares.
Brush with butter substitute and stack 3 of them together at odd angles and gently press into the tin, folding down the rough edges slightly. Bake for 6-8 minutes, till golden brown. Wait for them to cool completely before removing.
In a medium bowl mix together the light cream cheese, honey and lemon rind until smooth.
To prevent soggy bases, fill your filo bases (about ¾ full) just before serving (no more than 30 minutes or so). Arrange fruit on top and micro plane some extra lemon zest over the top.

Notes:

If you'd like your filo cups to have a hint of chocolate, leave out the lemon and shave a light dusting of 70% dark chocolate over the top.
