Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay unrolled stack of phyllo sheets on flat surface, cover with large piece of saran wrap or parchment paper & then cover with damp kitchen towel. Remove one phyllo sheet to a flat surface & brush with melted butter. Remove second sheet, lay over the first sheet & brush with butter. Repeat til you have 5 sheets total. (Re-cover the rest of the sheets each time to keep from drying out, but make sure to not get them wet with the damp towel). Using knife or pizza cutter, cut stack of buttered sheets into 6 squares. Lay one stack of squares into a muffin cup, gently pushing down in the middle & around the sides. Repeat with remainder of squares. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until all of the phyllo sheets have been used. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Remove from oven & allow to cool in pans. In mixer fitted with wire whip attachment, combine mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, Splenda, strawberry jelly, powdered sugar & lemon juice til smooth. Fold in raspberries & blueberries.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. To make the tarts you can use muffin tins to form the individual tarts or you can use small tart rings. To begin you should have your sugar and melted butter with a pastry brush ready. If not using immediately keep the phyllo dough covered with a damp towel as it has a tendency to dry out very quickly. Brush each sheet with enough butter to lightly coat. Sprinkle with sugar and fold the dough in half and then cut the rectangle in half creating 2 squares. Place each square in muffin tins and the dough may bunch up on top that is okay it will appear ruffled when baked. Repeat this method as many times as you need for each serving. Bake phyllo for 10 minutes or until golden brown and set. Whisk together the egg yolks, sweet wine, and sugar in a large bowl. (Remember this is going to need room to grow 3 times its volume). Place this bowl on top of a pot of simmering water and begin to whip constantly. It will probably take 10 minutes or so, so you may want to have a relief whisker available. Once the sabayon is light and airy yet you can see the tracks made by the whip take off the double boiler and place bowl inside of a larger bowl that has water and ice in it to cool the cream down. Once cooled you can whip 2 cups of heavy cream until medium to stiff peaks. Fold into the sabayon. To assemble the tarts, place the baked phyllo cups on plates and spoon in sabayon cream, then pile high with any berries you like. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy.

In a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, bring the blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch and a pinch of salt to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool completely. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a sheet pan. Cover the phyllo sheets with a piece of plastic wrap and a damp paper towel. Arrange 1 sheet of phyllo on a work surface with the short side nearest you (keep the remaining sheets covered) and brush with some butter. Top with 2 more phyllo sheets, brushing each sheet with butter. Place a heaping 1/4 cup blueberry mixture over the lower third of the buttered phyllo, leaving a 2-inch border along the bottom and sides. Fold the bottom edge of the phyllo up over the blueberry mixture and fold in the sides to enclose the filling completely. Roll up the phyllo to form a strudel, about 4 by 2 inches. Transfer, seam-side down, to the prepared sheet pan. Brush the top with some butter and sprinkle with sugar. Using a paring knife, cut 2 vents across the top of the strudel. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Bake until golden brown and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place a sheet of phyllo on a flat surface such as a cutting board; spray lightly with spray and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sugar. Cover with another sheet of phyllo. Repeat three times, finishing with spray and sugar. Using a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife, cut the phyllo into 3-inch squares. Place each square in a cup on a muffin tin, pressing in gently and fanning phyllo layers so corners don’t overlap. Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until golden. Whip yogurt in a small bowl. Fold in Neufchâtel and vanilla (and liquor, if desired). Cover and refrigerate 10 minutes. After cups have cooled, remove them from muffin tin. Add 1 tbsp yogurt mixture to each cup. Top with fruit and serve. (You can also mix fruit directly into yogurt mixture.)

Drain ricotta cheese in a sieve for 20 minutes; set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 6 3-inch loose-bottomed tart pans with nonfat cooking spray. Leave phyllo sheets in a stack and use a ruler to trace 6 5-inch squares onto top sheet (3 squares across and 2 squares down). Using a sharp knife, cut along traced lines, through all 5 sheets of dough. Immediately line each tart pan with 5 sheets of dough, lightly brushing melted butter or margarine between each layer. Trim edges of dough. In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta, sugar, egg, orange rind, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Pour an equal amount of mixture into each tart pan. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, until golden brown. Cool tarts slightly, then arrange raspberries on top. To serve, remove tarts from pans and sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.

Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 12-by-8-inch rectangular tart pan with a removable bottom. Place phyllo on a work surface and cover with plastic wrap. Working with one sheet of phyllo at a time, use a pastry brush to coat one side with butter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar and fold sheet in half crosswise; butter the top. Transfer sheet, buttered-side up, onto half of prepared pan, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Repeat with a second sheet, butter, and granulated sugar, adding new sheet to other side of pan. Repeat process, buttering and sugaring phyllo, folding it over, and laying it in pan so sheets overlap in a random pattern as you build up a crust that extends all the way around the pan. Fold and ruffle edges to create an even border. Place pan on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake until light brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Filling: Meanwhile, pulse hazelnuts, brown sugar, flour, and salt in a food processor until very finely ground. Pulse in butter and ginger until smooth. Pulse in eggs until smooth. Spread filling in an even layer over warm crust (fill crust immediately after it is out of the oven); top with berries. Bake until filling is puffed, set, and golden brown around the fruit, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with confectioners’ sugar. Tart is best eaten the day it’s made.
