Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 sheets phyllo, thawed
1/2 cup clarified butter
1/4 cup sugar
16 pitted dried plums
16 toasted almonds
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed into 16 pieces
Powdered sugar, as a garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Lay a sheet of phyllo on a cutting board with the short part facing you and brush lightly with clarified butter then sprinkle with sugar. Cut into 4 long, even strips.
  • Open up each dried plum and place a cube of cream cheese and a toasted almond inside. Place a stuffed dried plum at the end of each strip of phyllo. Fold it up to make a triangle, like folding a flag. Brush the outside with butter and sprinkle with more sugar.
  • Repeat with the rest of the phyllo. Bake until light golden brown about 20 to 30 minutes. Serve warm, if possible, sprinkled with powdered sugar.

DRIED PLUM AND WALNUT PHYLLO TRIANGLES

Notes: I make these at Tru as an amuse course or to pass at dessert hors d'oeuvre parties I throw. They can be made the day before and kept cover and refrigerated, then just bake them off before your guests arrive. You could serve them with raspberry yogurt as a quick dipping sauce.

Time 32m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sheets thawed phyllo dough
4 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
4 tablespoons sugar
2 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
6 dried plums, halved
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
12 pieces candied orange peel
Powdered sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • On a work surface carefully brush a sheet of phyllo with melted butter and sprinkle it with 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar. Cut 6 strips from top to bottom 3 inches wide.
  • Place a cube of cream cheese, a piece of dried plum, some chopped walnuts, and a piece of candied orange peel at the end of each strip. Fold them into triangles by folding the dough over itself as if folding a flag. Place them on the sheet pan. Brush the tops of the triangles with butter and a final sprinkling with sugar.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the phyllo is golden brown. Let cool and serve within 6 hours sprinkled with powdered sugar.
