Easy Phyllo Fruit Tarts Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Add to the room temp cream cheese, the juice of 1 whole lemon and 1 can of sweetened condensed milk. Beat until no lumps and creamy and airy.
• 2. Baked the phyllo shells, approximately 4-5 mins. Allow to cool then fill with the mixture above.
• 3. Top all the shells with any fruit mixture you choose. I used what fruit I had on hand but fruit in season would be great as well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• For the tarts: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• On a lightly floured work surface, lay out the puff pastry. Cut the puff pastry sheets in half, making 4 rectangles. Place 2 puff pastry rectangles on each sheet pan. Set aside.
• Add the blueberries and strawberries to separate bowls. Divide the granulated sugar and lemon juice between the bowls. Season each with a pinch of salt and stir until well combined.
• Divide the blueberries between 2 of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving a 1/4-inch border on all sides. Do the same with the strawberries and the remaining puff pastry rectangles. Pinch the corners of each rectangle, creating a slight lip. Brush the edges with the cream.
• Bake in the lower half of the oven until golden and crisp, about 20 minutes.
• For the whipped cream: While the tarts bake, add the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip until soft and billowy. Transfer to a serving bowl and chill until ready to serve.
• Transfer the tarts to a cutting board. Let the tarts cool slightly before slicing approximately 6 times across each tart to create thin slices. Transfer to a serving platter. Scatter the mint leaves over the tart pieces and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve alongside the whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C.
• Brush the sheet of phyllo pastry with melted butter or oil.
• Scrunch up to form a nest and place on a flat or shallow baking tray.
• Spoon the fruit into the centre.
• Sprinkle with sugar and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
• Dust with a little icing sugar if desired.
• Serve with some ready-made custard or whipped cream.
• FILLING IDEAS:.
• Stewed feijoas mixed with a little ginger.
• Cooked apples mixed with a little cinnamon, cloves and pistachio nuts or nuts of your choice.
• Canned peaches mixed with a little coconut and mixed spice.

Steps:

• Roll up phyllo dough and cut into 1/4-in.-wide strips. Place strips in a large bowl; toss with butter, sugar and orange zest until coated. Divide strips into six portions; shape into nests on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 5-7 minutes or until golden., In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat marmalade until melted. In a large bowl, combine the oranges and berries in a large bowl; drizzle with marmalade and juices. Sprinkle with lemon and lime zest; gently toss to coat. Just before serving, spoon into nests. Garnish with mint if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Place phyllo shells on a baking sheet and brush with egg white. Sprinkle with sugar and bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack.
• Spoon or pipe lemon curd into shells. Serve, decorated with blueberries and fresh mint leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the pastry shells: Use a pastry brush to brush one sheet of phyllo with melted butter. Top with another sheet and brush with butter and repeat for a total of 4 layers. Top with the remaining sheet of phyllo but do not brush the top with butter.
• Use the remaining melted butter to brush the insides of 6 cups of a standard 12-cup muffin pan, leaving every other cup empty.
• Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the stack of phyllo sheets into 6 squares, each about 4-by-4 inches. Ease each square into a buttered muffin cup, pressing gently to line the cup and allowing the edges to fold in. Refrigerate while you make the batter.
• For the batter: Microwave the chocolate chips and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth, about 60 seconds. Whisk in the sugar, vanilla and salt. Whisk in the egg until smooth, then whisk the mixture vigorously for 20 seconds. Whisk in the almond flour until combined.
• Divide the batter between the phyllo-lined cups. Place a heaping teaspoon of jam in the center of each cup and swirl with a toothpick. Bake until a clean toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs, 34 to 38 minutes.
• Cool the tarts in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Dust each tart with powdered sugar and top with a few fresh raspberries before serving.

Steps:

• Drain ricotta cheese in a sieve for 20 minutes; set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 6 3-inch loose-bottomed tart pans with nonfat cooking spray.
• Leave phyllo sheets in a stack and use a ruler to trace 6 5-inch squares onto top sheet (3 squares across and 2 squares down). Using a sharp knife, cut along traced lines, through all 5 sheets of dough. Immediately line each tart pan with 5 sheets of dough, lightly brushing melted butter or margarine between each layer. Trim edges of dough.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta, sugar, egg, orange rind, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Pour an equal amount of mixture into each tart pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, until golden brown. Cool tarts slightly, then arrange raspberries on top. To serve, remove tarts from pans and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place a sheet of phyllo on a flat surface such as a cutting board; spray lightly with spray and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sugar. Cover with another sheet of phyllo. Repeat three times, finishing with spray and sugar. Using a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife, cut the phyllo into 3-inch squares. Place each square in a cup on a muffin tin, pressing in gently and fanning phyllo layers so corners don't overlap. Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until golden. Whip yogurt in a small bowl. Fold in Neufchâtel and vanilla (and liquor, if desired). Cover and refrigerate 10 minutes. After cups have cooled, remove them from muffin tin. Add 1 tbsp yogurt mixture to each cup. Top with fruit and serve. (You can also mix fruit directly into yogurt mixture.)
