Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 250 grams Ricotta cheese
- 120 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon powder
- 20 grams Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolks, and cinnamon powder. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Unroll the phyllo dough and cover it with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out.
Place one phyllo sheet on a clean work surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Layer a second sheet on top and brush again with butter.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the sweet cheese filling along the shorter edge of the phyllo sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold in the sides of the phyllo sheet and roll it up tightly to form a log. Place the log seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling until all are used.
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter to ensure a golden, crisp finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
Let the rolls cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar. Drizzle with honey, if desired, before serving.
