Ok, it may look a little boring, but there’s nothing boring about the taste! This is also great with some non-dairy ice cream on top. I took a cue from the Mustard Greens & Filo (Phyllo) Pie recipe and used a mixture of different berries. A great summertime dessert!
INGREDIENTS:
16 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
6 large fresh strawberries, sliced
1/2 C fresh raspberries
1/2 C fresh blueberries
4-oz Tofutti cream cheese
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
4 Tbs Earth Balance margarine
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375. Melt the Earth Balance in a small saucepan and keep it warm on the stove. Using a food processor, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice. In a medium bowl, combine the mixture with the fruit.
Using a pastry brush, brush the bottom and sides of an 8×8 (I used a 6×9, I think) baking dish. You’ll want to work quickly with the phyllo dough, but at least you don’t have to worry about making it look pretty–it won’t matter. Layer a phyllo sheet on the bottom of the pan and then brush the top with butter. Repeat this step with 7 more phyllo sheets. Pour the fruit mixture on top and spread it out evenly.
Do the same process with the remaining 8 sheets of phyllo dough on top, brushing butter onto each layer as you go.
I forgot to do this, but I recommend slicing this before you bake it—the phyllo doesn’t cut very clean after it’s been baked. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the top is a golden brown.
Enjoy!
By the way . . . I’m off to Boulder for the weekend and will bring you reviews of at least two veg-friendly restaurants—both of which I’ve never been to. Looking forward to it! Have a great weekend!
Beautiful Boulder
