Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets Phyllo dough
- 100 grams Low-fat cream cheese
- 300 grams Mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a medium bowl, mix together low-fat cream cheese, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In another bowl, combine the mixed berries with cornstarch and gently toss to coat the berries. This helps to thicken the fruit juices during baking.
Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place another sheet on top and spray again. Repeat with the remaining sheets to form a stack.
Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 8 equal rectangles using a sharp knife.
Place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on the center of each rectangle, followed by a spoonful of the mixed berries.
Fold one corner of each rectangle over the filling to form a triangle, pressing down the edges firmly to seal.
Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray the tops lightly with more non-stick cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Let the pastries cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
