Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets phyllo dough sheets
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup butter
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, chocolate chips, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, honey, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Set aside.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, flat surface. Cover the remaining sheets with a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
Lightly brush the phyllo sheet with melted butter using a pastry brush, then place another sheet of phyllo dough over it. Brush this layer with butter as well.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the phyllo stack into 3-4 strips lengthwise, approximately 3 inches wide.
Place a heaping teaspoon of the chocolate coconut mixture at the bottom corner of each strip.
Fold the phyllo strip up diagonally over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end of the strip. Repeat with remaining phyllo strips and filling.
Place the finished triangles on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with cooking spray or brush with any remaining melted butter.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the triangles are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate for garnish.
