Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets phyllo dough sheets
- 120 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 225 grams cream cheese, softened
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 90 ml honey
- 60 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 30 grams chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
- 30 ml extra honey (for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, flat surface. Brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and repeat the process until you have stacked 4 layers, each brushed with butter.
Using a round cookie cutter or knife, cut the stacked phyllo sheets into circles (about 8-10 cm in diameter). Gently transfer the circles to the lined baking sheet.
Repeat the stacking and cutting process with the remaining 4 phyllo sheets. This will make another batch of circles.
Bake the phyllo circles in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
While the phyllo circles cool, prepare the honey cream. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Add the honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the cream mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Refrigerate the honey cream for 10 minutes to chill.
To assemble, place one phyllo circle on a serving plate. Spoon or pipe a dollop of honey cream onto the circle, then top with another phyllo circle. Repeat to create layers (2-3 layers per torte).
Drizzle each torte with extra honey and sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture.
