In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, combine softened cream cheese and marshmallow fluff and beat until fluffy. Add lime juice, mint extract and food coloring and mix until well blended. Using a pastry bag or spoon, fill each mini-phyllo shell. Garnish with blueberries, pistachios and/or fresh mint leaves.
