Peaches And Cream In Phyllo Recipes

MINI PEACH PHYLLOTARTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Onto a clean, dry work surface, place phyllo dough sheets. Cover with a damp towel (but not overly wet). Make sure there is an equal-sized clean, dry work space very close to the covered phyllo dough, as this will make assembly much easier.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Place one regular-sized 12-cup muffin pan nearby.
• Peel and slice peaches and place in a large bowl. Then add sugar, flour, 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Stir to combine thoroughly and set aside.
• Carefully take first phyllo sheet from the top of the stack and lay it onto the prepared clean, dry work surface. Re-cover the stack with the damp towel.
• Gently brush a light layer of butter onto the phyllo sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture, top with another phyllo sheet and repeat until four sheets have been stacked and buttered.
• With a pastry cutter or pizza cutter, gently cut phyllo into six evenly-spaced squares.
• Carefully tuck phyllo squares into muffin cups. Spoon peach filling into the center of each (about 6 peach slices in each cup).
• Bake for 20-30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.
• Serve warm and enjoy!

FRUIT AND CREAM PHYLLO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium mixing bowl combine cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy. Set aside.
• Remove thawed phyllo from package and unroll. Keep stack covered with a damp towel at all times to prevent drying out and tearing. Separate one sheet of phyllo from stack, brush lightly with melted butter or margarine, and place sheet in a 9-inch pie pan. Let edges of dough hang over sides of pan. Continue this process with 4 more sheets of phyllo dough. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly into pan.
• Spread fruit filling over cream cheese layer. Fold overhanging phyllo dough over fruit layer. Brush another sheet of phyllo with melted butter or margarine and lay over top of pie. Continue this process with remaining 4 sheets of phyllo.
• Tuck edges of top phyllo sheets inside pie between pan and filling, sealing well. Cut small slits in top layers of dough to allow steam to escape.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, ensuring that phyllo doesn't get too brown, just golden. Cool completely before serving. Refrigerate leftovers, if any ...

PEACHES AND CREAM, LITERALLY

Steps:

• Cut each peach in half along the crease, twist open, and remove the pit. Peel and slice. Cut slices in half to get roughly 2 cups of sliced peaches.
• Bring sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Boil until a syrup forms, about 3 minutes. Stir in peaches until coated. Bring syrup back to a light simmer, about 1 minute. Immediately remove from heat and pour mixture into a bowl.
• Transfer peaches into a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine. Divide mixture between serving glasses, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until completely chilled and cream has absorbed all the peach flavor, at least 3 hours.
