I always like to think of Easter as our official start of spring, but I also remember that each year, I become the biggest sucker around and buy my girls beautiful Easter dresses. You know the ones… the sleeveless dresses, bathed in beautiful pastel colors, created with light and breezy fabric.
In my typical ways, I buy the dresses, take the tags off, then remember I live in Kansas…the land of weather never being what it is supposed to be on Easter Sunday. I don’t believe my girls have ever experienced searching for Easter eggs without their dresses hidden under heavy coats, mittens and scarves.
Even though our weather in Kansas may not be spring like by Easter, I won’t let that stop me from making spring like dishes for Easter.
These light and flaky Athens Mini Fillo Shells filled with creamy blueberry mousse are the most simple, springlike dessert… easy enough to make, you can get outside to enjoy that frigid Easter egg hunt!

These look so fabulous!! LOVE the design!
I just saw some in the store today and wish I’d bought them now! Such cute little guys 😉
These are so pretty! And I bet they taste great too
They do! Thanks so much 🙂
I love these shells! I can make something that FEELS super fancy just by putting them in the shells, when really it’s not that hard to do! The mousse looks delish, and I get what you mean–in New England the weather is even MORE unpredictable.
Exactly! That’s why I love these little shells.
These are wonderful, Kristen! The blueberry mousse is screaming spring to me!
Thanks, Cassie! I am sooooo ready!
What a yummy little bite!
They certainly were. Thank you!
I love those little shells, and this filling sounds wonderful! And oh, the weather on Easter. Why do all the pretty dresses have no sleeves????
I wonder the same thing but they always are sleeveless! I wish Mother Nature would allow us to appreciate a sleeveless Easter!
I happen to have a package of those in my freezer : ) They’re the perfect size!
They make appetizer making a breeze!
Kristen, these are so cute and I’m sure they are delicious!!! I love the sound of that blueberry mousse!!
They were quite tasty!
Looks like you are having a great time on your cheese trip!
These treats looks oh so lovely and surprisingly simple to create. The perfect springtime treat even if the weather isn’t quite matching up yet 🙂
Seriously… The weather needs to get with the program!
Oh my word Kristen, these look so good! How could you go wrong with blueberries, cream and phyllo shells?!
I agree! Love your little egg bites too. So clever!
What a great way to use fillo shells! These are the perfect bite-sized desserts.
They are so easy!
Mini shells are such a time saver and the filling sounds awesome!! Can’t believe Easter is next up 🙂
🙂 Same here. I can’t believe I actually have a holiday post up before the holiday!
We’re in the same boat and given that Easter is in March this year, I’m pretty sure we’ll still have plenty of snow on the ground so no fluffy spring dresses here but I’d gladly take one of these adorable mousse cups!
At the rate we’re going we will probably be buried under a foot of snow on Easter…but that won’t stop me from enjoying these cutie pie shells filled with blueberry heaven!
Bummed we wont get spring-y Easter weather either… but these gorgeous treats might make up for it!
Love these little bites! I almost always have a box of these shells in my freezer. So handy!
Pretty little bites, love these! And I completely know what you mean about not being able to indulge in lighter spring Easter dresses without jackets. I thought that was normal. !!
These are so cute and pretty! I love anything with blueberries!
It’s Easter already… time flies so fast. Blueberries are some of my favorite foods, and I love how your blueberry mousse looks. I can’t wait to try this recipe. I’m sure my kids will enjoy eating these.
These are so adorable, Kristen! I love mini fillo shells! And those pastel Easter dresses 🙂
We are usually in hats and gloves too. Boo!
I’ll try to prepare this delicious recipe together with my husband. In February he gave me a perfect gift for St. Valentine’s Day – a cooking class for couples organized by Zac’s cooking school here in Vancouver so I’m now collecting interesting recipes to come up with during that course and this one will be a little surprise for our little kids. 🙂
Can you make the mousse ahead of time? We are traveling today and was wondering if I could make it at home and pipe them into the shells tomorrow? Thanks!
Hi Megan – I’m sorry I’m just now seeing this. Making the mousse ahead of time would be great. The shells get soggy if you keep the mousse in them for too long unrefrigerated, so making it ahead of time and filling the cups later would be great!
Welllll, this is THE WORST recipe I have ever tried before – ‘trying it’. I was embarrassed, but, I took it to my husband’s daughter’s “congrats party”, for graduating Nursing School, if for ONLY to have people KNOW that I did TRY to arrive with “a dish”.
I hope someone can fix it and let me know on their “outcome”!

Barb, Thanks for your feedback. I’m sorry this didn’t work out for you. I’ve made these twice now and they turned out great. When you get a moment can you email me at Kristen at dineanddish.net and let me know more details on why they didn’t turn out? I’d love to see if I can figure out why.
I’m sorry you had to take a dish you weren’t pleased with. I would never share a recipe that hasn’t had good results for me.
Kristen
Hi Kristen,
I’m sorry I was so “biting” with my post/comment. I suppose I was just cranky, nevertheless, I apologize for my gruffness.
I am aware that the blender I have is a few years old and perhaps it just didn’t ‘blend’ as well as I thought it did/should. I believe I WILL try the recipe again, hopefully soon, but I will use my processor and achieve the correct results. I’ll keep you info’d!!
Again, I apologize for my earlier “attitude”.
Thanks,
Barb
