Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375˚F. Place a rack in the center of the oven. Lightly grease a muffin tin and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, using a hand-held mixer on medium-high speed, cream together the sugar and the softened cream cheese. Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract and lemon zest and continue mixing until nice and smooth.
- Unwrap the filo pastry. Lay one piece on a clean surface and brush it with the melted butter. (*) If you are using the thicker, country-style filo, repeat with two more layers of filo. If you are using the thinner-style filo, repeat with three more layers. Using a 5-inch cutter, make 9 circles. Gently press the circles into the prepared muffin tin.
- Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly between the 9 filo cups. Bake for about 12 minutes or until the fillo is golden brown and the filling is set. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes (they will deflate slightly as they cool down).
- Prepare the lemon glaze by mixing the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Top the cooled filo cups with the fresh berries, drizzle with some of the lemon glaze and serve with extra berries on the side.
