Easy recipe and sweeter than expected. I made 15 mini cups as that is what was in the package. The filling makes a lot and I had enough left over to make another 10-15 mini cups. I used roasted unsalted cashews since the recipe didn't specify. Wasn't sure if these were to be served warm so I made these in the afternoon and briefly reheated before serving. The guests enjoyed and I will make again.

These are addicting. I had to stop myself from eating them all. Kudos to you for creating this wonderful treat. Needless to say, I will certainly be making these again. I loved the flavour of the filling combined with the phyllo. Thank you so much for sharing.
