Phyllo Purses with Sweet Ricotta
Ready In: 30 mins
Serves: 10
Ingredients
- 5 sheets phyllo dough
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 lb fresh ricotta cheese
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Make the phyllo cups: Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Stack the 5 sheets of phyllo dough; cut them into 4 rows, then 4 columns for a total of 16 squares.
- Lightly butter 4 squares, then sprinkle with just a dusting of cinnamon while keeping the remaining dough covered with a dry towel or cloth.
- Stack the 5 layers, then spoon a small amount of the ricotta filling into the center; gently pull up the corners of the dough and pinch to seal, making sure no filling leaks out.
- Place on a baking sheet, and bake for 5 minutes or until golden.
- Serve immediately, and garnish with a dollop of cream and a mint sprig.
