Strawberry Cheesecake Pastry Bites are Amazing!
These bite-sized pieces of heaven are one of my all-time favorite recipes. Amazing Strawberry Cheesecake Pastry Bites are insanely delicious and addicting! The crunch of the fillo dough shell, the sweet cheesecake filling, and the tart berries are a combination that will leave you drooling for more.

I’ve already told my husband these are my Mother’s Day dessert request. They only take ten to fifteen minutes to make. With only four ingredients, I know that he, along with his three happy helpers, can make these. Easy Peasy!

I love an excuse to make these, so I took them to a baby shower last week. They were a hit. How can they not be? I am telling you, the flavor combination is AMAZING! You have got to give them a try. Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to make them……or have your family make them for you!
how to make Amazing Strawberry Cheesecake Pastry Bites
- Remove mini fillo dough shells from the packaging. Place them on a large cookie sheet.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and granulated white sugar. Mix by hand or with a hand mixer until completely combined and smooth.
- Put cream cheese mixture in a Ziploc bag and snip the end to squeeze the mixture into pastry shells.
- Fill each shell with approx 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp filling.
- Top with berries of choice.
- Keep refrigerated until serving.
- Best if served within 2-5 hours of making. Shells will soften the longer the filling is in them.
Tips for making Strawberry Cheesecake Pastry Bites
- Instead of piping the cream cheese mixture into the pastry shells, use a small cookie scoop to fill the shells.
- I prefer to use the pre-made fillo dough shells. If you really want to, you can buy the sheets of phyllo dough and make your own with a mini muffin or mini tart pan.
- There is no need to re-toast or bake the pre-made phyllo pastry shells, but you can if you want to.
- If you won’t be serving the bites within 2-5 hours of making them, I suggest baking the shells at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes to give them a little more crunch so that they will maintain their crunchiness longer.
- Frozen berries can be used in place of fresh berries.

Other Strawberry Cheesecake Bites
They look so yummy.
These look amazing and I’m going to try them on Sunday for a girl’s day, but I’m just curious where you found the puff pastry shells? I can only find the frozen ones.
I use the frozen ones. They come 12-15 in a pack depending on the brand. They are usually near the cool whip in the freezer section. Hope you love them as much as I do.
Hi Samantha,
I use the frozen ones. 🙂 They are already shaped into the little cups and so easy. They are usually by the puff pastry sheets back by the cool whip in the freezer isle.
I think you must mean phyllo dough shells, not puff pastry, hence the confusion.
Yes, sorry I thought the two were interchangeable. oops.
Where do you find the puff pastry? I have never bought it before and would love to make these for a wedding shower.
They are usually over in the freezer section at the grocery store. Near the Cool Whip and premade pies.
NYE party…perfect time to try these out. Yum!! Thanks.
Awesome! You’re Welcome!
I’ve got some wonton wrappers leftover. Do you think if I baked them to get them crispy that they would work?
I think they would give it a different texture that wouldn’t be quite so light and crunchy, but it might be good?
No baked wonton wrappers are not even close to phyllo, but they do make a perfect savoury hors douver base. I have filled them with mango salsa or meatballs and cheese.
Made these for my dinner party and they were a hit! Nice, light and the perfect size! Will definitely make these again!
Glad to hear it! They are one of my go-to’s for easy finger food to take to parties. So easy and sooooo yummy!
I think these will be on our menu! Yummy and easy! #febgiveawah
