These tarts had a wonderful flavor. I didn't like the texture of the crust or the filling. The filling looked kind of like cauliflower and had a grainy texture. I am going to try these again with cream cheese instead of ricotta and shortbread crust instead of the phyllo.

These are great and I've made them with all types of berries (strawberries, blue berries, raspberries). To save time I use Athens Philo Shells which can be found by the cool whip in the freezer section of the grocery store. I make the mixture of egg, ricotta cheese, etc and put it into the frozen shells and bake them for about 15-20 minutes. DELICIOUS!!!

I added cooking chocolate and cloves to this recipe. The tarts were fantastic, even my kids (fussiest on planet) liked them. I use refrigerator phyllo,not the freezer kind. Works well.

It felt like the recipe was missing something, a little too bland and tart for my tastes.

This was okay but it seemed to need a little more for me, although everyone else liked it. I think I will try it by adding some cocoa to the cheese mixture and a little extra vanilla perhaps.

This dessert had a very good flavor. I made it for my husband for Valentine's and he was impressed. Even my 3 year old liked it. The phyllo was hard to work with - it always is for me - so next time I make this, I will look into using already prepared shells. The prebaked shells are available and I was thinking that if I left out the egg, I could make a "no-bake" version of this.

Try using pre-made mini phyllo shells (made by Athens Foods - in the frozen food section). I didn't find it necessary to drain the ricotta. Ground cloves might give it an extra kick. Got lots of raves when I took this to a party.
