Fresh Fruits and Ricotta Phyllo Cups

These bite-sized Phyllo Cups filled with creamy ricotta cheese and fresh seasonal fruit are the perfect dessert for entertaining. Use store-bought phyllo shells or make them yourself using my easy phyllo cups recipe. 

These Fresh Fruits and Ricotta Phyllo Cups are one of the easiest bite-sized desserts you'll ever make. 1-2-3 it's done! Well, almost.

If you decide to make this phyllo cups recipe using store-bought pastry, it'll take you...15 minutes maybe? And it means you're slow. No offence, friend, I like you anyway <3

Prepared phyllo cups are not available in Australia (or at least I couldn't find any at the main supermarkets) so I always make my own cups using phyllo dough, a little butter or olive oil spray and a muffin tin. It's a breeze if using my easy phyllo cups recipe!

I love the crisp, flaky texture of phyllo dough but I don't like the waste that usually comes with it. Often, I thaw a box, use about half of the pastry and then forget about them, only to come back to them a week later, and find them all dry and not usable. Not cool.

So this time, I made another Phyllo Cups recipe: these Apple Phyllo Cups . Make sure to try both phyllo cup recipes and serve them as a bite-sized dessert or brunch treats the next time you are entertaining a crowd.

Happy weekend!
