Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets phyllo dough sheets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons mint leaves (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
Carefully lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar over the sheet, then layer another sheet of phyllo dough on top.
Repeat the process until all 8 sheets of phyllo dough are layered with butter and sugar.
Using a sharp knife, cut the phyllo stack into 3x3-inch squares and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the layers are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey for 30 seconds to make it slightly runny (optional).
To assemble, place one crisped phyllo square on a serving plate, top with a dollop of whipped cream, and add a few slices of fresh strawberries. Drizzle with honey if desired.
Repeat the layering process for each portion, stacking 2-3 layers of phyllo, cream, and strawberries for each serving.
Garnish with a mint leaf on top, if using. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispiness and freshness.
