Peach-Filled Phyllo Bundles
Phyllo dough, low in calories and fat, creates a delicate shell for a peach and chocolate filling in this amazing dessert recipe.
Ingredients
-
3 medium peaches, peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped, or 2-1/4 cups frozen unsweetened peach slices, thawed and coarsely chopped
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
4 teaspoons miniature semisweet chocolate pieces
-
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice
-
Nonstick cooking spray
-
4 sheets frozen phyllo dough (18x14-inch rectangles), thawed
-
2 teaspoons powdered sugar
-
Fresh raspberries (optional)
Directions
1.
For filling, in a medium bowl combine peaches, granulated sugar, chocolate pieces, flour, and lemon juice. Toss to combine; set aside.
2.
Lightly coat four 6-ounce custard cups with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Lightly coat 1 phyllo sheet with nonstick spray. (Keep remaining phyllo sheets covered with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out.) Place another sheet of phyllo on top of the first sheet; lightly coat with nonstick spray. Repeat twice. Cut stack in half lengthwise and in half crosswise, forming 4 rectangles.
3.
Gently ease one stack of phyllo into bottom and up the sides of one custard cup (phyllo will hang over edge). Spoon about 1/2 cup of the peach filling into center. Bring phyllo up over filling, pinching together to form a ruffled edge. Lightly coat again with nonstick spray. Repeat with remaining cups, phyllo, and filling. Place custard cups in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
4.
Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in custard cups; remove from cups. Serve warm or cool. Sift powdered sugar over pastry tops before serving. If desired, garnish with fresh raspberries and peach slices. Makes 4 servings.
Frozen Peaches Tip
If using frozen peaches, blot them well with paper towels after thawing to remove excess moisture.
