Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 sheets phyllo dough sheets
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams walnuts, chopped
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 grams powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Set it aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, semisweet chocolate chips, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Lay a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and lightly brush it with melted butter. Repeat the process with the next 5 sheets, layering them on top of each other.
Spread the chocolate-walnut mixture evenly across the phyllo stack, leaving a 2-inch border along all edges.
Carefully roll up the phyllo stack from one of the shorter edges, creating a tight log. Tuck the edges under as you roll to seal the filling inside.
Transfer the rolled strudel to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the surface with the remaining melted butter to ensure even browning while baking.
Bake the strudel in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the strudel from the oven and allow it to cool for 10–15 minutes on a wire rack.
Finish by sprinkling powdered sugar over the strudel before serving. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
