Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
- 75 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 3 pieces ripe peaches, sliced
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay out the phyllo sheets on a clean, flat surface, covering them with a damp towel to prevent drying.
Take one phyllo sheet at a time, brush it lightly with melted butter, and layer another sheet on top. Repeat until all 6 sheets are stacked.
Using a sharp knife, cut the stacked phyllo into 6 equal rectangular pieces.
Place each phyllo rectangle on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
While the phyllo is baking, prepare the peaches by tossing the sliced peaches in a bowl with granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add vanilla extract and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To assemble, place one piece of baked phyllo on a serving plate. Spoon a dollop of whipped cream onto the phyllo, followed by a layer of the macerated peaches. Repeat to create a second layer, finishing with a top layer of crispy phyllo.
Dust the top with powdered sugar and drizzle with honey, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delicate textures and flavors of this elegant dessert.
