Ingredients

6 Cake dessert shells

Cream Cheese Layer

3 tbsp Light cream cheese
2 tsp Powdered sugar
1/4 tsp Vanilla extract

Berry Compote

1 cup Berries cut into uniform size
2 tsp Sugar or artificial sweetener
1 tsp Lemon juice fresh squeezed

Instructions

Cut and wash berries. In a small saucepan, combine berries, sugar, and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for 5-7 minutes, until berries have released liquid but still have some shape. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
Combine cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar and mix until fully combined.
Add 1 tsp of cream cheese mixture into the bottom of each dessert shell and spread to coat it. Top with berry compote to fill each shell, and finish with a dollop of whipped cream!
Store components separately in the fridge and assemble before enjoying.
