How to make phyllo cups

Making phyllo cups at home is a simple and easy process with store-bought phyllo pastry sheet. Always handle pastry sheets carefully as these sheets are super thin they tear up easily. Unused pastry sheets has to be covered with damp cloth or clingfilm to prevent them from drying out. brush each phyllo pastry sheet with butter and cut them into squares, stack 2 squares in each mould of muffin tin and bake until golden and crispy. In this recipe I have used 2 squares for each cup, you may choose 5-6 squares to make each pastry cup.

Phyllo cups are really versatile as they can be served warm or cold, filled with sweet or savoury filling. These crispy and crunchy pastry cups are perfect for birthday parties, formal dinner, kids parties, christmas parties or just to create your own fun snacks.

I really like to make phyllo pastry cups at home as I can adjust their size according to my requirements. For mini muffin tin I can make bite sized phyllo cups to use for appetisers, snacks or bite sized dessert canapes or regular muffin tin for each dessert or appetisers.

These yogurt cherry phyllo cups are perfect dessert to include in a party menu where the filling appetisers like Potato 65 are part of the menu, this light yet delicious dessert makes the menu well balanced and avoid wastage of food. These little treats are an amazing dessert to include along with regular desserts such as Mango coconut burfi/fudge, Pumpkin halwa in case you are planning to have multiple desserts.

Recipe Notes

You may stack up to 5-6 layers of phyllo sheet in each mould of muffin tin to get a extra thick phyllo cups.

Assemble the yogurt cherry phyllo cups just before you serve to prevent them from getting soggy and soft. Alternatively let guest assemble themselves.

Be sure to apply butter to muffin tin moulds. This not only helps brown the phyllo cups it also helps to remove these cups from moulds.

Don't worry about making them look perfect as phyllo sheet will fold over in different spots and sometimes it will be sticking out of muffin moulds.

Phyllo cups, yogurt mixture can be made well in advance. If you plan to make phyllo cups the night before a party then keep these cups uncovered in cool and dry place to ensure they doesn't lose their crunchiness.

This recipe can be easily modified to include any fruits and nuts of your choice.

You may use dry roasted nuts to get a toasty flavour.

In this recipe I have used store bought glace cherries you may swap it with fresh pitted cherries or cherry compote.

You may use piping bag to fill the yogurt in phyllo cups.

You may swap sugar with honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar or any sweetener of your choice.

Foe vegan version, substitute dairy yogurt with coconut yogurt or any plant based yogurt.

    These mini phyllo cups look so beautiful. I've tried these but with a cheesecake filling. Though cutting the pieces of the thin filo sheet takes time, the end result is a wonderful treat.

      I am pleased to know Mayuri. First time even I felt it's time taking to cut the sheets as they are so thin and difficult to handle. Now I feel it's easy.
