Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (1-pound) package frozen phyllo (not thawed)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 teaspoons confectioners sugar
1/2 cup chilled heavy cream
1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons honey
8 strawberries, cut into 1/4-inch slices

Steps:

  • Without unrolling phyllo log, cut 2 (3/8-inch-thick) slices crosswise from one end of log and thaw slices 5 minutes. (Save remaining frozen phyllo for another use.)
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Lightly brush a baking sheet with some of melted butter.
  • Carefully unfurl slices from phyllo rolls on a work surface, discarding any plastic or paper rolled within. Gently separate strands, keeping them parallel, then gather into 4 groups, about 14 strands each. Cover 3 groups with plastic wrap. Gently hold one end of remaining (uncovered) group of strands and brush with some of melted butter, then dust with 1/2 teaspoon confectioners sugar using a fine-mesh sieve. Flip over and brush other side with butter and dust with confectioners sugar in same manner. Loosely coil up coated strands to form a small nest and put on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining clusters to form 3 more nests.
  • Bake nests in middle of oven until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool nests on sheet on a rack, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Beat cream with granulated sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until it just holds soft peaks. Drizzle each phyllo nest all over with 1/4 teaspoon honey and put 1 tablespoon whipped cream in center. Top with strawberries and remaining cream, then drizzle each dessert with 1/4 teaspoon more honey.

I've made these nests several times now and they're always a hit. They're the perfect way to use up fresh strawberries.

I'm not a big fan of strawberries, but I loved these nests. The cheese and honey balance out the sweetness of the strawberries perfectly.

I added a drizzle of honey to the nests before serving and it really took them to the next level.

I used a different type of cheese than the one called for in the recipe, but they still turned out great.

I've never worked with phyllo dough before, but this recipe was easy to follow and the nests turned out beautifully.

These phyllo nests were a hit at my dinner party! The combination of sweet strawberries and creamy cheese was perfect, and the phyllo pastry was crispy and delicious.
