A light summer dessert with one of my favorite things, white chocolate!! This would also be wonderful with mixed berries!
I am taking a little family vacation, so I asked my friend Gina Dunn to guest post. Gina and I have a lot in common, we both love to cook light, we both love cooking magazines and cookbooks, and we have the same name! She recently started her first blog, Point-less Meals, but has been emailing her recipes to a long list of friends almost daily along with photos for a while so she was able to fill up her blog with lots of recipes from her past. Please welcome her!

amazing!
ReplyDeletesimple and refreshing! love it!
looks really good!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a perfect summer recipe! I love making fruit pizza with a sugar cookie crust but this is a healthy swap and phyllo dough is amazing anyway! Thanks for posting this one!
ReplyDeleteWow! This looks awesome! Can't wait to try it out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I would want to use Butter and Oil. Is this to just brown it? Anything else we could use for that to make it even healtier?
ReplyDeleteThis looks deelish. Will have to try it. Your food pics are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I have some phyllo dough. I just found your site and can't wait to try some of the recipes.
ReplyDeleteKatie, the recipe only calls for 1 T of oil and 1 T of butter for the WHOLE recipe. That is pretty good actually!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious. I can't wait to make it.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful. My family love the fruit pizza but it's very high in calories. I'll try this.

Thank you for the recipe! I "adapted" it last night for a get together- I'm on WW so I wanted to prepare something I knew I could stay on track with. I made individual tarts - cut the phyllo dough into squares. Spray mini-muffin tin with nonstick butter flavor spray. Press dough into tins & bake. Then filled with the cool whip mixture, fruit and white chocolate drizzle. They were BEAUTIFUL! Portion controlled and all my friends were very impressed. I didn't tell anyone it was a WW friendly dessert.... :)
ReplyDeleteMade this, but changed the oranges for fresh peaches. It ups the fiber and tasted fantastic! Thanks for the recipe Gina!
ReplyDeleteWow..looks fantastic, and Delicious.. unfortunately, i can´t try it.. im not a good cooking man...
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found your site, you have an awesome collection of recipes! Keep up the great work :-)
ReplyDeleteI have made this recipe twice this week and it's phenomenal! I have modified just a tad - I grated some nutmeg in the cream cheese/cool whip mix, and added blueberries for a pop (and b/c I freely admit to having a bit of a nutmeg & blueberries addiction!). Oh, and I use semi-sweet chocolate. Time to make another one though - my husband loves it a little too much. Thank you for your website, we hardly remember that we're doing WW with these recipes!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of making individual tarts.
ReplyDelete@Anna and Kris- I'm all about the berries!!
This looks light and refreshing!!
ReplyDeletecould you use leave the white cholocate out and maybe drizzle a little carmel.. Maybe just use an apple amd leave out the powered sugar
ReplyDeleteSure, you can adjust it to your taste.
ReplyDeleteThis was amazing and everyone at work loved it! To make the calories less I took out the cream cheese and added fat free strawberry yogurt. I love this website. Thanks for taking the time to add such delicious recipes.
ReplyDeleteI normally do not like fat free cream cheese, and I accidentally bought the sugar-free cool whip (ew)... but it actually turned out SO GOOD. I substituted a granola pie crust since I never use phyllo and didn't want to buy a whole box. It tasted so great! The white chocolate made it.

Can you use pie crust instead?
ReplyDeleteI made this desert tonight very good but next time I will do it in a muffin tin might be easier to eat.
ReplyDeletethanks for your great website!!
