Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
- 60 ml unsalted butter, melted
- 240 ml lemon curd
- 250 g fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 15 g powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin.
Lay out one phyllo pastry sheet on a clean surface and brush it lightly with the melted butter. Layer a second sheet on top, aligning the edges, and brush it with butter as well. Repeat with a third sheet.
Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 6 equal squares.
Gently press each square into the prepared muffin tin, creating cups. Be careful not to tear the dough. Repeat the process with the remaining 3 phyllo sheets to make 12 cups in total.
Bake the phyllo cups in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the tin.
Once cooled, carefully remove the phyllo cups from the muffin tin and place them on a serving platter.
Fill each phyllo basket with approximately 1-2 tablespoons of lemon curd.
Top the lemon curd with sliced strawberries, arranging them attractively.
Dust the tops with powdered sugar, and garnish with a mint leaf, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, tangy treat!
