Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 4 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Skim milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Layer another phyllo sheet on top, spray again, and repeat until all sheets are stacked.
Cut the layered phyllo stack into 10 rectangles.
Place a heaping teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each phyllo rectangle.
Fold each rectangle over the filling to create a triangle or square shape, depending on preference. Seal the edges by pressing them gently with your fingers.
Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with egg white for a golden finish.
Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
While the pastries are baking, melt the dark chocolate chips and skim milk in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth.
Once the pastries are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops.
Allow the chocolate to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-fat chocolate drizzled pastries warm or at room temperature.
