This pretty dessert is also easy to achieve
with ready-made frozen phyllo dough sheets and fresh fruit.
Plum and Peach Phyllo
Nests
- 12 sheets frozen, thawed phyllo pastry
Butter flavor vegetable cooking spray
1 1/2 pounds peaches, peeled, pitted, sliced
1/4 pound plums, pitted, sliced
Fruit Sauce (see recipe below)
- Cut phyllo into (24) 8-inch squares.
- Spray 4 phyllo squares lightly with vegetable
spray; layer squares, turning each slightly so that corners are
staggered. Carefully fit phyllo into 8-ounce custard cup, shaping
edges to form "nest". Repeat with remaining phyllo
squares.
- Arrange fruit in bottom of each "nest"
. Place custard cups on cookie sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C)
until phyllo is golden and fruit tender, about 15 minutes.
- Cool on wire racks; carefully remove "nests"
from custard cups. Serve warm or room temperature with Fruit
Sauce.
