Ingredients
3 sheets phyllo, thawed
1/2 cup clarified butter
1/4 cup sugar
16 pitted dried plums
16 toasted almonds
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed into 16 pieces
Powdered sugar, as a garnish
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Lay a sheet of phyllo on a cutting board with the short part facing you and brush lightly with clarified butter then sprinkle with sugar. Cut into 4 long, even strips.
- Open up each dried plum and place a cube of cream cheese and a toasted almond inside. Place a stuffed dried plum at the end of each strip of phyllo. Fold it up to make a triangle, like folding a flag. Brush the outside with butter and sprinkle with more sugar.
- Repeat with the rest of the phyllo. Bake until light golden brown about 20 to 30 minutes. Serve warm, if possible, sprinkled with powdered sugar.
