Phyllo Cups with Cinnamon and Condensed Milk Cream

I am a huge lover of condensed milk, I like it with bread, saltine crackers and also with fresh strawberries.Yes, I have weird eating habits!
Condensed milk is one of the reasons I love this little dessert so much, besides, is really easy to make and the ingredients are pretty much always in my house.The filling can be made in advance and refrigerate until is ready to serve,it is so creamy and refreshing, perfect for these summer days! .
