Phillo Berry Cups



I don't know about you guys but I love any dessert made with Phillo Dough. These extremely thin sheets of dough turn to such a crispy, flaky, melt in your mouth, decadency after they're layered and baked so I knew I couldn't go wrong with this dish. I've actually never seen this dessert anywhere and kind of just made it up but let me tell you, they were so easy to make and better yet they taste just heavenly.
Here's what you'll need...
  • 1 package of Phillo Dough Sheets (you can purchase the ready made Phillo cups if your in a time crunch)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 Package of strawberries and 1 package of raspberries (any fruit will work)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Nuts to top

Step by step
  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray cupcake pans with non stick spray.
  • 2. Melt butter and brush onto one single sheet of Phillo Dough. Layer three more sheets of Phillo Dough on top of the first, for a total of 4 layers, and brush butter in between each. Cut your 4 layered dough into 12 squares (4x3).
  • 3. Take three of the prepared Phillo Dough squares and create a shell within one cupcake mold. Repeat until 4 shells are created.
  • 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you're desired amount of shells are created or until all of the Phillo Dough sheets are used.
  • 5. Bake shells for about 10 minutes or until they are golden brown.
  • 6. In a medium bowl whip together Nutella and heavy whipping cream on high speed for about 3 minutes. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
  • 7. Cut up fruit and mix with sugar. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
  • 8. Fill Phillo Dough shells with a dollop of Nutella cream, spoonful of fruit, and top with toasted nuts.

Enjoy!
 Tips
·         By using the premade Phillo Dough Shells you can skip steps 2 and 3. However, the premade shells are smaller, more expensive, and only come in a quantity of 15.
·         Phillo Dough Shells can even make great or d'oeuvres... fill with taco ingredients, spinach or artichoke dip, etc.

·         These Phillo Dough shells can be filled with anything so let your imagination run wild!
