Honey Phyllo Ice Cream Cups Recipes

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.

Steps:

• For Cups:
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 2 heavy large baking sheets with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Arrange three 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups upside down on each sheet, spacing evenly. Spray outside of ramekins with vegetable oil spray.
• Stir butter and honey in small saucepan over low heat just until butter melts and mixture is smooth. Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface (cover remainder with plastic and dampen towel). Brush butter mixture over sheet. Cut sheet into six 6-inch squares. Stack 5 squares, with points of each going in different directions (reserve 1 square for next cup). Lift stack; place stack, buttered side down, on 1 ramekin. press stack firmly, molding to ramekin. repeat buttering, cutting, stacking and shaping with remaining phyllo, using 5 squares for each stack and making a total of 6 cups. Brush outside of phyllo with butter mixture.
• Bake until phyllo is brown and crisp, about 14 minutes. Immediately run spatula under edges of phyllo to loosen. Transfer baking sheets to racks; cool 10 minutes. Slide spatula under phyllo and ramekins and lift from baking sheet. Remove phyllo from ramekins and place upright on baking sheets; cool completely. (Can be prepared 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• For Topping:
• Whisk honey and lemon juice in small bowl to blend.
• Place phyllo cups on plates. Place 1 scoop ice cream in each. Spoon fruit around ice cream. Drizzle with topping.
